  Barcelona football star Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison over a tax fraud case in Spain.


However, the striker - generally considered the best in the world currently - is unlikely to face any time in jail as a term of under two years in duration usually results in a period of probation under Spanish law.
