Lionel Messi has made yet another history in his football career.

Messi was sent off for the first time in his Barcelona career in the closing stages of extra-time as they lost 3-2 to Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.

Messi was dismissed after striking Asier Villalibre in the final minute.

However, he was heavily involved in a more positive way as Barca took the lead five minutes before the break.
