Leo Messi did not finish the final of the Supercopa of Spain​ against the Athletic Club when being expelled in the discount of the extention. The Argentinian, frustrated perhaps by the defeat and by his bad meeting, removed of on to Asier Villalibre in a struggle that finish with a manotazo of the Argentinian in the head of the Basque. A played that apparently it did not admit discussion, but that the FC Barcelona himself wants to argue.

According to account 'Sportive World', the Barça already has decided that will present allegations by this red cardboard to the Committee of Competition. The organism has to now decide which sanction apply him to the rosarino after his expulsion and the group barcelonista pretends to recess all what can the punishment. It seems that the meeting to take this decision will be this Tuesday, by what then will be when know how many parties will lose the '10'.

The Barcelona will try that they are the less possible and therefore the juridical department blaugrana already works in the writing that will present to the Committee to help to Leo. In the club thinks that will not be more than 2 or 3 parties by how is explained the played in the record of Jesús Gil Manzano. "In the minute 120 the player (10) Messi Cuccittini, Lionel Andres was expelled by the following reason: Strike to a contrary with the arm doing use of excessive strength being the balloon at stake but no to distance to be played", wrote the referee.

The fact to put that it was the balloon at stake hints that could him apply the article 123, that prays the following: "Produce of violent way with occasion of the game or like direct consequence of some launch of the same, whenever the action originate risk, but do not produce consequences dañosas or harmful, will sanction with suspension of one to three parties or by time of until a month. If the action described in the previous paragraph produced to the margin of the game or being the game detained, will sanction with suspension of two to three parties".

Having this in account, to Leo as a lot they would fall him 3 meetings, but fits the possibility that Competition think that is aggression and apply him the article 98, that says the following: "Assault to another, without causing injury, ponderándose like factor determinant of the element doloso, necessary in this infringement, the circumstance that the action take place being the game detained or to distance such of where the same develops that it result impossible to take part in a launch of that, will sanction with suspension of four to twelve parties".

There are doubts on the article that will apply him to Messi

There is the one who thinks that what puts Gil Manzano in the record saying that it does "use of excessive strength being the balloon at stake" is sufficient reason to think that they will fall him 2 or 3 crashes. Nevertheless, the nuance of the record affirming that the balloon was not "to distance to be played", does that it also can him apply the 98 and that can sanction him with 4 or more. Precisely in case sucede this, the Barça covers the backs and prepares the allegations that will give so that Messi can return the before possible.
