Assistant referee Emerson Carvalho ruled a foul against Messi in the second half of last week’s Thursday’s game in Chile. Messi strongly disagreed with the ruling and waved his arms while shouting and hurling abuses at Carvalho.

The ban placed on Messi, however does not apply to his club, Barcelona, but his country’s football federation insists they will appeal the ban.
“The federation will appeal, as it should,” the team secretary Jorge Miadosqui told Agence France-Presse. “We feel powerless, surprised.”
