“Barcelona” on Sunday suffered a painful defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final and after extra time lost 2:3 to Bilbao's “Athletic” team. Lionel Messi ended the game earlier. The Argentine received a red card in the 121st minute for violent conduct against an opponent and had to leave the field. However, after this failure, “Barcelona” may not only lose the cup but also their team leader L. Messi. Spanish media reported that the federation has started investigating the incident and if it is found that the footballer deliberately took an illegal action, he could face a suspension of up to 12 matches.
