1. del Horno was going to the ball. He timed it wrong, got burnt by Messi i other words.
2. He did not go for the player, see #1.
3. He was going tough , not rough. What do you do when you are about to collide with tall ca.85 kg body?
I have not seen the previous "tackle", so I admit I have no clue if del Horno
was targeting this one key player of oppnts.

u need to see the previous tackle... it was around 15 mins into the game and del horno had 1 possibly a career ending tackle that the ref didnt see and the other he ust ran into the ball... messi was near the touchline... what the hell did del horno think he could achieve out of that situation by running like a madman... even if he got to the ball, he would have had a corner against him and he would have easily injured messi while h was at it...
im not a biased person, or atleast i try not to be... this was a definite red card!
