Sport says Messi exchanged angry words with Henry during their thumping of Tenerife having seen the Frenchman make gestures of disappointment after not receiving the ball as he wanted.
The World Player of the Year told Henry to reign in his behaviour as it was affecting the confidence of teammates.
Rather than lose his rag, Henry took on Messi's advice and was the first to congratulate the Argie after the three goals he scored on Sunday.

messi is not right to tell the legand that kind of stupid comment however i know messi the best but he dont have to disrespect him like trash i dont want be bies but heis one of the best player of this planet period he need respect from his teammate
so much happen on the pitch that those outside do not know. the press are also capable of writing anything. i think this is a means to create problem in barca dressing room. messi respects henry just the way henry does. all this is bcos henry has not been on top form for barca like last season. when he was playing and scoring last season no one said a stuff like this. messi will not see a teammate in a better position to score and will not pass the ball if he sees he cannot work the ball to the net himself. he did not pass to henry in a match he scored thrice means he was in a better position to deliver the goods. several occasions we have seen a player pass a ball instead of taking a shot to score and people would say 'why the pass'? great players like henry and messi know how to deal with themselves.
