Shameful 'manotazo' of Sergio Bouquets to Messi and... Neither fault!

Accustomed are to the foul play of Sergio Bouquets when the marker is not favourable to the Real Madrid. The FC Barcelona and Leo Messi, in particular, already have suffered it in great quantity of occasions, as when in the Classical of 2010, in the Camp Nou, the one of Beds maddened and, after propinar a patada in career to Leo Messi, pushed to Xavi and Puyol before going to the changing rooms, expelled.

Well, this Saturday did not live a so exaggerated situation, but yes taut. To the edge of the rest, the one of Beds propinó a strong 'manotazo' direct to the face of Leo Messi, that caused that the Argentinian remained tended some minutes on the lawn. The images left clear how Sergio Bouquets, that knew to perfection where was Messi, soltó the arm to remove it of on.

Messi finish the first time with blood in the lip and encarándose with Sergio Bouquets, to the one who recriminó the action. Far to apologise, the one of Beds followed causing to Leo Messi until all the players left to the changing rooms. The Classical 'heated', therefore, and the satisfy is that in the action of Bouquets with 'The Flea' the referee not even pitó fault.

Neither the VAR went in to value the decision of Undiano Mallenco, when understanding that it had not been an intentional aggression and that, therefore, there were not reasons to teach a hypothetical red card to Sergio Bouquets. The one of Beds went back to leave of rositas after his 'manotazo', something that already occurred in phase of groups of Champions League, this season, in the field of Viktoria Plzen.
