We’ve never seen him get so cranky
Lionel Messi might be one of the best players in the world, but that doesn’t excuse this ridiculous attempt to headbutt former Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
Fair play to the opponent for keeping his cool, barely reacting even when Messi put an arm around his throat.
Incredibly the Argentine avoided a red card for this, but we’re not sure how.
Maybe because it was so out-of-character, but even still rules are rules.
Considering the amount of times he’s hacked down, we’re surprised he had such a reaction.
