looks to me like messi is trying to avoid the contact, but the contact he makes is clearly quite dangerous and something we have been seeing red cards for
i dont think it's a red but wouldn't have been surprised to see VAR getting involved
I think the challenge itself is reckless and nothing more. Certainly not enough force for me to think it's clear SFP so imo the onfield decision has to stand. I reckon the same would have happened had it been given as a red as there is contact with the studs so it's just not a C&O error. I'm surprised that he wasn't even cautioned though.
