Barcelona ace Lionel Messi was sensationally shown the red card after lashing out at Athletic Bilbao’s Villalibre during the Supercopa final.
It’s not the first time Messi has received s red card, but it’s his first dismissal playing for the first team at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona looked to have sealed the victory but for late goals and an extra-time brace for Bilbao.
Barca boss Ronald Koeman said after the match: “I can understand what Messi did,” Koeman said. “I don’t know how many times they fouled him, and it’s normal to react when they keep trying to foul you as a player who is looking to dribble with the ball, but I need to see it again properly.”
Messi could face a four-match ban.
