Lionel Messi aka King of football sentenced to 1 year and 9 months in jail

After a long time of embarrassment, the FC Barcelona and world star Lionel Messi and his dad, Jorge were sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax evasion .

They were found guilty of three counts of tax evasion, fined 3.2 million Euro (Messi 1.7 million euro and his dad 1.5 million euro ) and sentenced to 1 year and 9 months with a chance of appellation (in Wendy Williams' voice :) ).

Do not panic Barca fans, the Spanish law have got you covered. There is a 99.9% chance that Messi and his Dad would choose to go on probation over jail time because the Spanish law states that a sentence less than two year could be served on probation.
