Messi out! This is the second time Leo has been sent off while playing for his national team [PHOTOS].

A match that started with inaccuracies from both teams and ended with the distressing 2 - 1 in favor of Argentina. However, what surprised many was the expulsion of the Argentine superstar, after Gary Medel pushed him while going for the ball.

But this is not the first time that Leo has been surprised with the red card. Fourteen years ago, in his debut with the Gaucha national team (2005 in Budapest), the 'Pulga', who came on as a substitute in the second half, only lasted 14 seconds on the field, as after an elbow on Vilmos Vanczák, the German referee Markus Merk decided to send him off.

Now, facing Chile, the Argentine has been sent off again. In the 36th minute of the match, referee Mario Díaz de Vivar decided to show Messi the red card when he had a tough encounter at the end of a play, despite Gary Medel repeatedly pushing the Argentine and him not responding.

Although the play was reviewed by the VAR, the referee did not change his decision and left both teams with ten men. For some, this was an unfair punishment for 'La Pulga' by the Paraguayan referee, while others believe that he should have been sent off. What is your opinion?
