Messi is threatened with severe penalties ... you know the details!
Argentine Barcelona captain Lionel Messi is waiting for a severe penalty after he deliberately hit Athletic Bilbao player Asier Villaliber without a ball, and was sent off directly, Sunday, in the final match of the Spanish Super Cup, which Bilbao won 3-2.
The Spanish newspaper "AS" said that "Messi is waiting for a ban ranging from one to four matches," noting that "the suspension of the Argentine player will extend to four games if what he did against Villeper is classified as an intentional act of aggression."
In turn, the newspaper "Marca" said that "the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Association will restrict to punishing Messi by banning two matches, and will implement the penalty of Messi banning in Barcelona's matches in the League and King's Cup."
It is Messi's first red card with Barcelona since 753 matches, which explains the psychological state of the Argentine player, who seems unhappy with his club in light of the technical decline and his reservation on the club's management and his previous quest to leave.
