"Barcelona" today will have to play in the Spanish championship without Lionel Messi.
The Catalan team announced on their official website that due to "personal reasons" L. Messi is replaced in the team lineup by defender Yerry Mina.
Messi will miss the match not just for any reason - it is reported that the footballer received news of an increase in his family last night. His wife gave birth to their third child.
This season, L. Messi played almost in all "La Liga" championship matches. He only missed a game against "Espanyol".
The match between "Malaga" and "Barcelona" in Andalusia will take place today at 21:45.
