Leo Messi ended his season in the worst possible way, ejected against Chile in the third and fourth place of the Copa America. A rigorous straight red, after a confrontation with Gary Medel raised tone but no aggression occurred, which is the second in his career. It had been fourteen years that Leo did not go to the locker room ahead of time by decision of the referee. It was a distant August 18, 2005, in his debut in the Albiceleste against Hungary. On this occasion, the Paraguayan Díaz de Vivar did not have mercy and, despite being Messi, he did not get upset in his decision either. The expulsion against Chile, in Argentina's 2-1 win, ends two months that have been smudged the great season that Messi had done. On May 2, Barca won 3-0 at Liverpool in the first leg of the semis with two goals from Leo, one of them a free-kick of beautiful invoice that went around the world.

From then on, everything that could go wrong with Messi was worse. Six days later, in a nightmare night for the Argentinian and for all Barcelona at Anfield, the Reds achieved a historic 4-0 to overcome and sneak into the Champions League final. The title that resists Messi since 2015 and that had 'promised' to all Barcelona after three Champions followed by Real Madrid again escaped, without the Flea succeeded in avoiding the shipwreck culé.La Copa also vanished 25 of May, while Barça tried to digest the hard blow of Anfield, came the defeat in the Copa del Rey final against Valencia. Messi scored, but his goal did not help to avoid defeat. Another title that stayed on the road after having caressed the triplet with your fingers.
