lol at people making hate stories up. why is everyone so ready to judge people based on a few seconds? Alexis was meters away, Leo and iniesta joined the group after hugging each other. like in champions league final Big Dave scores and run to the side lines messi turns his back to him and faces the stands/goal and celebrates with Busi and then joins the group.
Plus I don't think Messi had a change in attitude in general. He is always very calm and very good-tempered in every other match for Barca/Argentina. however his attitude has really changed about el clasico's after what happened last season. But he should not get cards based on bitching to the referees anymore. Also he didn't call referee puto, he was saying puto to himself, not as an insult to anyone, because referee didn't care and after he received the yellow he came back to referee and explained to him but it was kinda late. As diegomessi also said I got a feeling he was being very protective of Alexis last night.
He had a very good game. He was the ultimate warrior in the first half, took us by the scruff of the neck and pulled us back into the game. His attitude actually made me respect him even more. never giving up or getting bullied, keeping the confidence and pushing others on like a leader. Was exactly like a strong rock every one else including our midfield generals were clinging to. This is the spirit he needs to have ( along with keeping his good temper
) to carry Argentina to glory. It was him and Big Dave last time who got us out of trouble and this time it was him and Alexis.
