Barcelona is dissatisfied with Messi’s yellow card for taking off his clothes to pay tribute to the old horse. Netizen: No matter how severe the punishment is, he will take off his clothes.

Text/Observer Network Deng Ruikan talked about how on November 30, Messi took off his jersey after scoring a goal and raised his hands to the sky to pay tribute to the legendary Argentine star Maradona who passed away not long ago. This move received unanimous praise from all walks of life and was described by the Argentine media as "the most perfect tribute."

However, the referee on duty still gave him a yellow card based on the rule that "you cannot take off your clothes and display slogans".

Spain's "AS" reported on the 21st that due to the special circumstances of Maradona's death, Barcelona hopes that La Liga will cancel Messi's yellow card.

According to the rules of the competition, players cannot take off their jerseys to display "any form of slogans, advertisements, mottos, abbreviations, word puzzles or drawings, etc." for any purpose. Violators will be warned and clubs fined up to €3,000.

Barcelona coach Coleman said in an interview that although this was Messi's decision, he would have done the same thing if it were him. "We know that the league has relevant rules for stripping off to celebrate. But we also understand that Messi did this to pay tribute to Maradona."

On the other hand, many fans believe that with Messi's character, No matter how severe the punishment is, he will do it.

However, there is still a turning point in this matter. "AS" pointed out that Barcelona's legal team will use the incident involving Real Madrid star Ramos in 2007 as a similar case to appeal.

At that time, Ramos' teammate in Sevilla, Puerta, died of a heart attack on the field. He was only 22 years old. In order to express his condolences to the latter, Ramos also took off his jersey during the game and received a yellow card. Afterwards, Real Madrid successfully appealed and canceled the penalty.

There are many similar cases. In 2016, the Brazilian team Chapecoense suffered an air crash. Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira, who was loaned to Granada by Manchester United, and Barcelona star Iniesta received yellow cards for stripping and revealing "Come on Chape" during the game, but they were all revoked after appeals.

At present, neither La Liga officials nor Barcelona have made further statements on the matter. However, many media analysts believe that based on La Liga's past handling methods, there is a higher probability that the yellow card will be revoked.

There have been 9 rounds of La Liga this season. Counting this time, Messi has already received three yellow cards. According to La Liga rules, a player who accumulates 5 yellow cards will be suspended.
