Messi scored a goal in Osasuna's game. He took off his jersey after scoring and displayed the old Newell boy’s jersey to pay tribute to Maradona, who died recently. However, his behavior was the main player. Referee Raos showed a yellow card, but according to previous cases, it is very likely that this yellow card will not take effect in the end.
Barcelona has decided to write to the Disciplinary Committee requesting them to revoke the yellow card Messi got. The referee on duty, Raos, showed Messi a yellow card, in accordance with Article 111 of the Disciplinary Code: When a player celebrates a goal, he takes off his jersey or lifts his jersey over his head and climbs onto the fence of the court To celebrate, he will be shown a yellow card.
But this does not mean that Messi’s cumulative number of yellow cards in La Liga this season has reached 3. If we look back at the precedents of similar situations in La Liga in recent years, it can be judged that as long as Barcelona appeals, the yellow cards are likely to be cancelled. There have been 4 since 2007. A positive example. 2007: Ramos and Puerta. 2010: Cristiano Ronaldo and Madeira. 2010: Kalekhon and Halke. 2016: Pereira and Chapecons.
According to the result of this penalty, as long as Barcelona appeals, then Messi's yellow card to Maradona will probably be cancelled. In my opinion, giving cards is in line with the rules, and no one can fault it; canceling and conforming to favors show the glory of football beyond the sport itself!
