Lionel Messi has been looked in great shape ever since Barcelona’s return after coronavirus break. The Catalan Giant could not secure a win last night against Sevilla and the match ended with 0-0 draw. However, Messi was in the news for something negative as he pushed and allegedly slapped Sevilla's Diego Carlos during the match. However, the six-time Ballon d'Or winner escaped red or a yellow card and thus this left the fans fuming. A few of them said that image Cristiano Ronaldo or Sergio Ramos doing this, they would surely get red or at least a yellow. Lionel Messi Reportedly Dedicates 699th Goal to Three Sons With his New Goal Celebration.

However, the over-exaggerated and delayed tumble did not help him and Messi saw no action from the referee. But the fans felt that the act by Messi did deserve an action. You can watch the video below and have the look at the tweets.
