5 Teammates That Got Lionel Messi Angry And Almost Got Into A Fight With Him

Lionel Messi is an Argentinian and FC Barcelona Legend, a firm candidate for football dad of the year and a model citizen, or at least that's what he has made us believe.

1. Ex - inter milan player Nicolas Burdisso




"Hey pr**k, you gotta run until the final whistle" - Burdisso. That was the spark that light Messi's fury in Argentina's locker room. Ex- inter Milan player Nicolas Burdisso questioned Messi's commitment to the match and leo spent the first 45mins shouting at him for not finding him with the ball.

"We got into the locker room arguing when I saw him coming, I stood up and confronted him, they had to separate us" - Burdisso In the end, burdisso never played for the national team again. "Leo has a strong character, that's cool I am the same" - Burdisso


2. David Villa




In 2012, FC Barcelona played Granada at camp nou, Messi was aiming for the world record of most goals scored in a single year and granada seemed like the perfect match to add a few more. But things quickly became complicated and Leo din't take it well. The breaking point was when David Villa got a ball in the box and took a few extra touches on it before laying up a pass to Messi. "First-time pass!! David" - Messi

"First time? I can't even control it, f*** off" - Villa. Mascherano had to break them apart, and luckily for Villa, messi lashed his range on Granada's captain for the second half.

3.Gerard pique






The only man who has equal or more balls in the Barcelona locker room is Gerard pique. El presidente as the media calls him. He is barca's vocal leader, but according to a report, the load was too heavy for him, so he said to Messi, "you only talk to the media when you are in Argentina", so Messi replied him "your defence lets too many goals". But pique only wanted to share the burden of facing the media when Barcelona isn't doing that well.

4. Auturo Vidal






Messi might not be as vocal off the pitch but on the pitch, he is a maniac. Messi normally let his feet do the talking, but when things don't go his way, he starts barking orders. Barcelona were up 1-0 against Liverpool in the Champions League, when Messi made an incredible play and left Vidal all alone in the box. The Chilean decided to square it to Suarez and wasted the chance. "Take it! you have to take it" - Messi was visibly furious

After the match, Vidal was asked about it. "I gave it my all, but he was angry. He's in the right, he is a fantastic player" - Vidal. In the end that goal would have made the difference and might have knocked Liverpool out.

5. Aurthur






South Americans are passionate about football above everything else, even making club teammates fight. Messi and aurthur found themselves in opposite sides in an Argentina vs Brazil friendly match. After an Argentinian fouled a Brazilian, aurthur asked the referee to book the Argentinian defender. Messi saw that and didn't like it, not one bit. I am not sure what words were exchanged, but messi had no intention of hiding his discomfort.

In the end, messi scored a goal and even won a trophy with Argentina. The only thing that is clear is that, messi cares about football too much and what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch.
