Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi is to face court trial for alleged tax evasion, a Spanish judge has ruled.
The judge rejected a prosecution recommendation to drop the charges on the grounds the player's father was responsible for his finances.
Messi and his father Jorge are accused of defrauding the authorities of more than 4m euros (£3.1m; $5m).
Both of the men deny wrongdoing in the affair, which goes back to 2007.
