The Barcelona striker Lionel Messi has been given a two match ban only by the Spanish football federation.
There were fears that he would even get up to a 12,twelve game ban for using force on Asir Villalibre , who went down far to easily like a sack of potatoes. The LionelMessi haters were wanting a 12 twelve match ban,but they were not getting it.
The referee failed to see the incident where the Atletico Bilbao striker twice. ran across Lionel Messi , which is clearly a obstruction, and should have had a yellow card, which was not shown.
V.A.R phoned the referee to look at V.A.R, the referee after watching V.A.R showed the red card to Jordi Alba, instead of Lionel Messi a mistaken identity.
So why was Lionel Messi given only two game ban. As there was no aggressive action from Lionel Messi, like a headbutt, punch, bite or a kick,it was just pushing a player and the ban for this is from two games to four games. For other things it could be eight games to twelve games.
Barcelona lawyers will fight he case using video from all angles, the ack one shows hardly any contact in the slow motion video.
The red card and ban could be cancelled even.
