Lionel Messi netted twice for Barcelona against Espanyol yesterday but according to Graham Hunter, Spanish football journalist, he was lucky to not see red.
The Argentine maestro score two goals in the derby victory but lashed out at former Real Madrid and QPR midfielder Esteban Granero while he lied on the pitch.
Reacting, Graham said Messi was lucky to not see red.
He said, “In anybody else’s book, that is a red card,”
“Messi’s made a rash decision and in my view he’s fortunate that hasn’t been seen as a red card offence.”
Still, Camp Nou witnessed another Barcelona win from the little maestro, as Messi scored a beautiful free-kick to wrap up the night.
