Footage has emerged which appears to show Barcelona star Lionel Messi thumping Liverpool midfielder Fabinho on Wednesday night.
Messi scored twice as Barca beat Liverpool 3-0 at the Nou Camp in their Champions League semi-final first leg.
The second, his 600th club goal, was a superb 35-yard free kick. But a video replay appears to call into question whether the set-piece should have been given.
A replay seems to show that Messi aims a punch at Fabinho's head, before falling to the floor and being given the free-kick.
Messi pega un puñetazo al rival merecedor de roja, por su contra el árbitro pita falta y llega el tercero.
