Lionel Messi, arguably the worlds greatest footballer, will face trial for tax evasion after his appeal was rejected. The FC Barcelona and Argentinian player made headlines off the pitch when he and his father came under fire for tax evasion when Messi was a younger player. The footballer and his father are suspected of avoiding paying Spanish tax by using companies in Belize and Uruguay to sell the rights to use Messi's image. The judge ruled: "In this type of crime, it is not necessary for someone to have complete knowledge of all the accounting and business operations nor the exact quantity, rather it is sufficient to be aware of the designs to commit fraud and consent to them.” - BBC Sport http://bbc.in/1rEIZeQ How will this affect Messi on the pitch?
