Minute 43 of party, to the edge of the injury time. Leo Messi, in a clear sample of pillería and motivation, attacks by the back a balloon that Koulibaly believed to have controlled. The Argentinian contacts with the balloon before that the central of the Naples and this, that already had armed the leg to clear, strikes the ankle of the '10' with a patada tremenda.
The players of the FC Barcelona protested angrily what the referee, and the VAR, corroborated afterwards: penalti clear to Messi. Good news for the Barcelona, clear is, but no so well was the fact to see how Leo Messi twisted of pain on the lawn. The rosarino had to be attended by the medical services, and seeing the repetition of the patada is not of extrañar.
Koulibaly Could have him done a lot of damage, and in fact did it, although fortunately it seems that everything remained in a contusión. To the cape of some minutes and after Luis Suárez transform the penalti, Messi raised , tied the boot and was testing in the field before the rest. With the pitido of the end of the first time and after several minutes of hobble, 'The Flea' left to the changing rooms as if at all, already walking normal.
Good signal, as it went it the fact to see him jump to the terrain of game to the exit of the changing rooms. The Argentinian played all the second time, hit several careers and no saw again him limp in any moment. Surely they applied him some type of spray or gel so that it did not feel the pain in hot, although sure that in cold the thing will be distinct.
With Messi, everything is easier
The case is that, fortunately, everything remained in a fright and no peligra the participation of the '10' in the transcendental party of quarter-finals against the Bayern Munich, next Friday 14 August in Lisbon. Leo Messi will be available to be ranged by Quique Setién in the eleven headline, and expects that it can be to the one hundred by one hundred, already without pain.
Lose to the Argentinian for a party like this would have been lethal for the FC Barcelona, and more seeing the a lot of that suffers the team in determinate phases to take out the meetings forward. Against the Naples, had the fortune that to the Italians was missing them something of puntería, and also to have in attack to a Messi very resolutivo and inspired with and without the balloon in the feet. Without the rosarino, another rooster would have sung... And the Barça, possibly, would not be in chambers.
