All #ThingsFasterThanDemichelis that you can think of after Manchester City’s Martín Demichelis was sent off against Barcelona in the Champions League for a desperate lunge on the runaway Lionel Messi.

Barcelona emerged 0-2 winners at the Etihad last night, thanks in no small part to Martín Demichelis’s foul and subsequent red card in the 54th minute.

The Argentinian defender failed to catch Messi and had generally been identified by the masses as a weak point in Manchester City’s side.

Many have pointed to the speed of the thirty-three year old as being a particularly poor attribute of his game:
