Lionel Messi got away with some shocking disrespect to referee Hernandez Hernandez during Barcelona’s 1-1 draw against Alaves.
Before half-time, Messi was frustrated that play was halted for a foul and lashed out on the referee by hitting the ball straight at him.
Amazing, despite his blatant show of disrespect, the referee only brandished a yellow card – when for any other player it would’ve been a sending off!
Of course, Real Madrid fans are understandably angered by this and called out the double standards after the incident.
