David Villa receives fine for revealing T-shirt

David Villa receives fine

Barcelona frontman David Villa has been fined by the Spanish Football Association for his celebration during his side's 5-1 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday evening.

The 30-year-old, who was making his comeback from a broken leg, lifted his Barcelona shirt to reveal one that had a message to his wife and daughter which read: 'Impossible without you.'

However, the FA in Spain have banned players from removing a jersey to display advertising or any slogans.

The fine is believed to total around £2,500.
