MESSI, KO
Barça lost two points and Leo (against Inter)
Alves’ goal wasn’t enough to keep the league lead which will have to be recovered in ‘el Clásico’
He will miss the match against Inter, and maybe ‘el Clásico’ too. Messi got a muscular injury which will rule him out against Inter, who won yesterday against Bologna.
(In the picture) This is Amorebieta kicking Messi in the face, action which was not given as a foul by the referee. It shows the tensions in a match that was taken to the extremes.

Higuaín and the referee save Madrid. A Racing’s goal was cancelled in the second half.





























It wasn't an intentional kick, though I have no idea why he lifted his boot that high for Messi to run into.
