Del Horno dcertainly didnt deserve a red - they collided then both rolled on the floor

hurt, Messi even taking a quick glimpse at the referee to see if he was getting his cards out before pretending to be hurt again.

The fact Del horno has put in a bad tackle a few minutes before and messi crying probably helped the ref make his mind up to an incorrect decision.

Play acting - the worse part of the game.... We really ought to get our players doing it more often as UEFA aint trying to stamp it out
