The 'Principito' had been the one who caused the maximum penalty after receiving a fault inside the area 'azulona'. However, it did not expect earn it he, knowingly that Messi was in the field and that, by nature, was the Argentinian the one who had to do it. Finally, the ariete French positioned , shot and signed the so much of the 'manita' for the culés.
