A former referee has admitted to have spared Lionel Messi from a second yellow card in return for his match-worn shirt.
Chilean refereee, Carlos Chandía, has confessed to having purposefully avoided giving Messi a booking. And all in the plan to receive the Argentine’s jersey at the end of a match.
Chandía was in charge of the 2007 Copa America semifinal match between Argentina and Mexico, with the Albiceleste blowing past El Tri with a 3-0 scoreline. 20-year-old Messi scored a beautiful lob to seal his country’s spot in the final.
Punching an opposing player in the face gets you sent off with a red card 99 times out of 100. Tuesday’s Copa Sudamericana match between Brazil clubs Corinthians and Red Bull Bragantino was the one exception.

After the two leapt into the air to challenge for the ball, Guilherme got away with a sucker punch.
