Barcelona make second appeal over Messi yellow card

After the Appeals Committee rejected Barcelona's plea over the yellow card given to Lionel Messi in the last LaLiga match against Sevilla, the club confirmed they will take the complaint to the Spanish Disciplinary Committee for Sports. The Argentinian, who scored in the Catalans' 2-1 win at the
Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, was booked for time wasting while attempting to put his boot back on following a challenge with opponent Steven N'Zonzi.
The Competition Committee rejected the first Barcelona appeal, concluding and confirming that Messi was in fact wasting time, thus backing the personal opinion of the referee, with the episode lasting over a minute and a half.
