Diego Maradona has called on Argentine chiefs to leave Barcelona star Lionel Messi alone.
Messi remains steadfast over his decision to quit international football.
"The more we talk about Messi, the more the boy gets tired of it," Maradona told Radio La Red.
"If anyone thinks they are going to go to Barcelona to talk to Messi, hopefully they don't do it because he will kick them in the a***."
