🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović Defends Messi Amid Red Card Controversy
🗣️: "People screaming for a red card clearly do not know the rules of football. According to IFAB, stepping on a player's Achilles tendon is not automatically a sending-off. The referee must judge the level of force used and whether the challenge endangered the opponent's safety.
A red card is for excessive force or serious foul play. This incident was neither. For me, it is not even a yellow card. Football is a contact sport. Every little touch is not a crime.
The loudest people crying for a red card are Ronaldo fans. They spend more time praying for Messi's downfall than enjoying football. Every tournament they wait for something, anything, that can damage Messi's reputation.
The truth is simple: if that challenge was committed by Ronaldo, they would call it passion and fighting spirit. Because it was Messi, they want a red card and a five-match ban.
Ronaldo is finished, and that reality hurts them. Messi is still the name everyone talks about, so they keep searching for ways to bring him down. This red-card campaign is just another desperate attempt."
