2006-2007 La Liga Title :: error

Real Madrid were Champions over Barcelona on head-to-head results in La Liga, NOT based on "goal average" as the locked article asserts. The BBC article cited for this data point also confirms that goals were not the tie-breaker criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:B85A:7950:9520:E4BA:DF8:4177 (talk) 17:07, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is better, in my opinion, to include the "Clear" command (with two curly brackets at either side of 'Clear') after the 'Portal' part. This may make reading a bit easier as, at first, I thought the section was empty.

Criminal conviction

The section about legal issues needs to be updated. Messi and his father just lost their appeal. Messi's prison sentence of 21-months was upheld.

He should therefore be added to the category of Argentine Criminals, found here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Argentine_criminals

News source from Reuters here - https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-spain-messi-idUKKBN18K1F7
