Though some might not like to admit it (read: Real Madrid fans), Lionel Messi is surely the best player in the world at the moment.
A treble-winner last season, the Barcelona superstar has nabbed 9 La Liga goals this season despite two months out injured. Likewise, his imperious performances have just inspired Barca to victory in their two-legged Copa del Rey clash with Catalan rivals Espanyol.
However, as the latest match up with the Blanquiazules has proved, not everything Messi does on the pitch is quite so impressive.
Though we can't fault his football, we can certainly call Leo up on his trash talk. In the middle of the second leg away at Estadi Cornellà-El Prat, Messi and Espanyol defender Álvaro were seen engaging in a catty verbal altercation.
But what did they say to each other? Well, Álvaro has now revealed all.source:mirror
