Barcelona 3-0 Liverpool: Petition to ban Lionel Messi for Champions League ‘punch’ es 2,500 signatures
Eagle-eyed Liverpool ers believe the Argentine superstar struck Fabinho around the head during Wednesday’s first leg clash
A petition to ban Lionel Messi for allegedly ‘punching’ Fabinho during Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Barcelona has ed 2,500 signatures.

The Argentine illuminated the first leg of the Champions League semi-final with a brace, featuring a magical free-kick to leave the Reds needing an Anfield miracle next week.

But some fans have taken issue with the awarding of the set-piece, claiming it was actually Messi who committed the foul.

Fabinho was adjudged to have blocked Messi’s run as the Barcelona star tried to play a one-two with Luis Suarez.

The Liverpool midfielder was booked for getting in Messi’s way, but some ers have argued that, instead, the Argentine launched himself at Fabinho.

As Messi seemingly tries to hurdle the challenge, his hand appears to make with the face of Fabinho, who went down holding his head.

And one Liverpool fan felt so aggrieved by the decision, they took to change.org to create a petition titled: ‘Get Messi a retrospective ban for clearly punching Fabinho in the head.’ https://www.change.org/p/uefa-get-messi-a-retrospective-ban-for-clearly-punching-fabinho-in-the-head

MandyNews.com is not sure change.org is the best way to reach UEFA, however the petition could attract the attention of the UK government if it reaches 10,000 signatures.

As of Friday morning, it already has more than 3,500 signatures – a total that’s rising all the time.And after a brief scroll through Twitter, it’s clear to see why.It seems as though many Liverpool fans felt cheated by the little Argentine:

I've said it several times that this dwarf shouldn't be allowed to come anywhere near a football pitch.

He is a tout.

He tried to strangle Roma's Yanga-Mbiwa
He headbutted Inter's Felipe Melo
He fought Shakhtar Donetsk's Darijo Srna
He spat on Malaga's Duda
He elbowed Mexico's Raldes
He wrestled Inter's Maicon to the ground
He bundled Uruguay;s Andreas Perreira to the ground & fought Arevalos Rios

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bt4TZMYyYM

The worst of all, he refused to go off TWICE.

1. Luis Enrique subbed him off against Eibar in 2014 & he refused to come off. Neymar was subbed instead.
2. Tito Vilanova subbed him off against Bayern in 2013 for playing rubbish.
He defied his manager and continued playing and Barca lost that tie 7-0.

Tito Vilanova died shortly after and Messi is responsible for his death.


Lionel Messi is a disgrace to football.

If this was Ronaldo...the world will come out with spears and fire to maim kill and burn him....messi is extremely arrogant but uses his quiet nature and reverse psychology to deceive y'all... What sort of player lies to his team mates in Argentina that he is injured all because they lost against Venezuela and leaves camp only to play full time for Barcelona few days later

When they say a player is a god of football, do they know the meaning?? A player that can't deliver his national team is called a god... Zidane is a god of football cos he delivered 's first WC, delivered the euros and delivered the CL for real Madrid as a player and coach...in the 2006 WC , a dead French team made it to the final only to loose the moment he was red carded...that is hu u call a god of football...not one player that only delivers for only one team...he is just a god of Barcelona football... Not of soccer..... Ronaldo is more qualified to b called a god cos he ed a dead real Madrid team and resurrected them into winning 4 CL titles in 5 yrs... Wrestled an invisible arsenal bk in the days and the special one's Chelsea to win a hat trick of league titles for man u and also the CL title... Gave Portugal their first ever major trophy( the euros) the most difficult international trophy after the WC... U can best describe the euros as the WC cos only European teams can win the WC... He will still win the CL win juve...mark my words...

Liverpool don start again. Same thing they did last season against Sergio Ramos.


Why didn't they complain during the match Anything can happen in a football match, it is the job of the referees to caution the players.
