"However, the length of the jail term - at under two years in duration - means he will not actually face any prison time."

Looks like they added that part in later. I'll update the OP.

Re: Messi given a 21 month jail sentence.
He was still given 21 month jail sentence. He doesn't have to serve it because of Spanish's first time offender and supposedly 2 years or less is considered a soft sentence so he doesn't have to serve.
The truth remains though...he was convicted and is now officially a criminal though. Sentence to 21 months to jail means he is guilty.
This will knock him out of any conversation of being GOAT. Maradona had his drug problems. Zidane had his headbutt.
What Messi did is inexcusable in a global climate where getting rich and evading taxes are severely frowned upon.

Pretty standard. High profile and protected. I've known guys who've done hard time for tax related crimes.

He's done in the eyes of the public.
Watch him lose his endorsement because of this and the national team fiasco doesn't help either.
