REVEALED: Luis Enrique and Messi almost came to blows at Barcelona training

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique and Lionel Messi almost came to blows last week, it is reported.Marca says it all happened during a training session last Friday.

It started when Enrique didn't award Messi a free-kick during a practice match when the Argentine was adamant that he had been fouled. They had it out on the training pitch, but that wasn't the end of it.

After the match, Messi went looking for the manager to complain about the decision and things started to get heated. The pair nearly came to blows but then Neymar, who had got wind of the argument, showed up and pulled them apart, while Messi continued to voice his disgruntlement.
