Barcelona's Villa slapped with fine for T-shirt message in rout of Real Sociedad

Barcelona's Villa slapped with fine for T-shirt message in rout of Real Sociedad

 Spanish football's Competition Committee have slapped Barcelona striker David
Villa with a fine for revealing a message to his wife and
daughter on a t-shirt during Sunday's 5-1 defeat of Real Sociedad
in La Liga.

 The attacker broke his tibia during the Club World Cup last
December, and celebrated his long-awaited return to competitive
action by arriving as a second-half sub to score a superb goal in
the rout of the Basque side.

 After finding the net, the Asturian-born frontman removed his
jersey to reveal the phrase 'Imposible Sin Vosotras' - 'Impossible
without you', accompanied by a picture of his family.

 The Spain international's emotional message has however infringed
on RFEF statutes, which state that removing a jersey to display
advertising or any slogan is considered an offence, and the
30-year-old has been punished accordingly.

 The size of the fine has been set at between 2,000 and 3,000 Eu
