Messi vs the referees part 8

As I've said numerous times before, Messi has been hurt by refereeing decisions a vast amount of times, so this series will be very long, as you can see by the fact we're now in part 8. So without further ado, let's look at more refereeing decisions against Messi.

The first one we'll be seeing happened against Real Madrid in the 2017 Spanish Super Cup, where Ramos fouled Messi inside the box but no foul was given.

Going forward to the second leg against Sevilla in the 2020/21 Copa del Rey, there was a penalty not given after Messi shot on target and Ocampos blocked it with his hands.

In the 2019/20 La Liga season, in an away game against Real Betis, there was a penalty from Bartra to Messi not given.

In the 2012/13 La Liga season, playing against Real Betis away, Messi had a 1v1 chance but it was wrongfully canceled because of a non-existent offside.

And last but not least, playing against Athletic Bilbao away in the 2018/19 La Liga season, there was this brutal stomp on Messi's leg by Yeray which wasn't given a red card for.

That is all for part 8 of this series. I hope you liked this entry, and as always, I'll see you in the next blog.

Ramos, Messi's favourite victim

In his 44 El Clásico appearances, he has faced Ramos a lot of times. It has been a common occurrence for Messi to play around with Ramos, a story that goes back to Messi's first El Clásico appearance.

Despite Ramos being nominated 6 times for the Ballon d'Or, being 8 times in the UEFA Team of the Year, receiving 5 times the La Liga Best Defender award, being 11 times in the FIFA/FIFPro World XI, and numerous other awards, Messi has had no trouble humiliating him numerous times ever since 2005 all the way to today.

There's a perfect video that shows every time Messi has faced and beaten Sergio Ramos, which doesn't even count the last 3 El Clásicos.

Hopefully in the upcoming El Clásico we see more of the same. But until then, I'll see you in the next blog.
