WATCH: Barcelona ace Messi seen shoving Robertson in back of head

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has been caught shoving Andrew Robertson in the back of the head during their Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Robertson had been seen shoving Messi's head in the opening minutes of the Anfield clash, and there was an ongoing battle between the Liverpool left-back and the Barcelona star.

And it seems Messi got Robertson back later in the game for his early antics, as footage shows him walking up behind Robertson and pushing his head forward.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson intervened in a bid to calm the situation. But Messi continued to argue with Robertson and the referee eventually separated them.

Earlier in the clash, Robertson was seen shoving a floored Messi in the back of the head.
