There’s been a feeling that Lionel Messi has been getting incredibly frustrated at Barcelona this season, and that came to the fore as he was given a straight red in the final moments of their Super Cup loss tonight.
There’s a tangle off the ball but he clearly loses his temper and lashes out at the Bilbao player, so the ref had little choice but to send him off after the VAR review:

It came in the final moments as they were already headed for defeat anyway, but this was Koeman’s chance to win some silverware so he has to be furious with his star man after this
Why is Barca still keeping this pig who is a man for nothing??? I sack this idiot we are tired of him we are begging of you. This is not Barca we used to know. Now is under the hands of a foolish man called Koeman with record

that’s football for you.
the video clearly shows how the Atletico club player blocks Messi on his run towards the opposite goal post.This is a clear example of poor refering of Targeta Roja,who should be punished for his grave mistake.
