Barcelona edged past an Atletico Madrid side who were reduced to nine men, following red cards to defenders Filipe Luis and Diego Godin, and Twitter reacted furiously to the former’s wild tackle on Lionel Messi.
The Blaugrana pulled off a 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid, which saw them take a 3 point lead at the top of the La Liga table, with a game in hand. But the Twitterati were more concerned about the terrible tackle that Atletico defender Filipe Luis made on everybody’s favorite footballer, Lionel Messi.
Check out the best tweets below. Starting with a revealing picture shared by a twitter account going by the name of the Indian cricketing great Sir Ravindra Jadeja.

Only in Spain (and only for a foul on a Barça player) could Felipe Luis’s red card be up for debate.

Red card for Filipe Luis. Studs-up on Messi’s knee – the sort of tackle you expect from a Brazilian on an Argentine. Diabolical challenge
