The Argentine Magician was hit by a bottle towards the end of the game, went to complain to the referee and was unimaginably yellow-carded for ‘time-wasting'.
However, Barça found the sanction unjust and appealed to the Spanish soccer comittee that manages these kind of sanctions but they confirmed the yellow card, rejecting the appeal.
It didn't end there as finally, the club went to this higher appeal comittee that has given the reason to the club and seen Messi's yellow card withdrawn.
The win against Valencia saw the Catalans move into second spot just two points behind leader Real Madrid as they face city rivals Espanyol at the weekend.
