The decision to suspend Messi for four Argentina matches – starting with Tuesday’s loss in Bolivia – was staggering. Ramos hits back at Pique First things first, Pique had an agenda. He always has an agenda, which is propagating the belief that Barcelona are continually mistreated by the media while Real Madrid receive preferential treatment from both match and government officials.
