Barcelona made an official request this Monday to the Spanish Federation because Lionel Messi, the star of the first soccer team, obtained a yellow card in Barça’s last game against Osasuna.
Messi received a warning after removing his shirt to celebrate his fourth goal against Osasuna on Sunday to show the Newell’s Old Boys jersey, number 10, for his compatriot Diego Maradona.
Thus, Messi delivered the goal to the spirit of the football legend who died in the middle of last week (Maradona), which made the referee Matteo Lahues apply the law and show the yellow card in the face of the Barça captain to remove the shirt during the goal celebration.
According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana sent a written letter explaining the reasons for Messi’s celebration in this way.

In the event that the Spanish Federation rejects the request, this warning will become Messi’s third this season in the League, which means that only two warnings are taken from the administrative suspension of a single match due to the accumulation of colored cards. .
The newspaper noted that the warning had already been removed from players who celebrated in a similar way to what Messi did, such as the celebration of Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid defender, dedicating his goal to Antonio Puerta, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s support for the Portuguese island of Madeira, and the honor of José Caijón to Danny Kharky, and Pereira, who showed his support for the Brazilian Chapecoense. .
