Barcelona number 10 Lionel Messi has avoided the booking that he had received for time-wasting at a La Liga game this Sunday at Valencia. It has been revoked by the Spanish soccer federation (Real Federación Española de Fútbol).
This was the second appeal by Barcelona. The initial appeal was rejected by the competition committee of RFEF.

According to RFEF’s webite, “The committee had been unable to detect ‘deliberate time-wasting’ on Messi's part but only a normal reaction from someone who had suffered an aggression by a spectator."
Barca’s narrow 1-0 win at Valencia, courtesy a Sergio Busquets 89th-minute goal, keeps them hot on arch rivals Real Madrid’s heels. The difference being two points after both teams having played 13 games each.
