Sports Desk: Lionel Messi, the Argentine superstar of the Spanish club Barcelona, ​​is generally known as a polite player and personality on and off the field. However, in recent times, he has been seen several times to lose his temper or to be stronger than before.

All of that was surpassed in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday night. Barcelona lost the match against Athletic Bilbao by 2-3 goals, losing the first title of the season. Perhaps out of that frustration, Messi attacked the opposing player, seeing the first red card of Barcelona's career.

At the end of the scheduled 120 minutes, there was a game of extra time. Bilbao went ahead 3-2. Barcelona attacked in the hope of returning equality. Barca captain Messi extended the pass to his teammates just outside the D-box a little ahead of midfield. He started to get the ball in the return pass.

That's when the negative thing happened. Messi, who scored the second goal for Bilbao, clashed with Villarreal. This made the Bara captain angry. He immediately slapped the back of Asiar's head. The main referee of the match did not notice the incident at first. Because the ball was in the D-box then.

However, the video did not escape the eyes of the assistant referee. Messi was shown a red card after watching the replay. As a result, Messi was shown a red card for the first time in his 653rd match for Barcelona. Messi will not get a pass just by seeing the red card. He can get a four-match ban for such incidents.

The final decision will be made by the Spanish Football Association. The decision will be made this week by Spain's highest governing body for football. Although this is the first time for Barcelona, ​​Messi saw a red card for the third time in his career. The other two become Argentines.

He saw his first red card in his international debut match. And in 2019, he saw the number two red card in the third place match in Copa America.
