According to various sources, Lionel Messi got into a heated altercation with Sevilla’s Sporting Director after the semifinal: Monchi.
Lionel Messi wasn’t happy after Monchi’s behavior last Saturday in La Liga. The Sevilla FC Sporting Director kept mocking Ronald Koeman from the stands during the match and Leo was waiting for him. SER reported that as the Catalan club’s players celebrated the victory last night, Monchi decided to leave the stands with a visible bad temper. At the same time, Messi and other Barcelona players were heading to the dressing rooms.
The captain saw Monchi and immediately approached him to ask for an explanation about Saturday’s behavior. Also, the players who accompanied Leo were extremely supportive of their manager and were in no mood for accusations. All Monchi cared about was recrimination and telling the players they always get help from the referees. Someone on Messi’s side said: “Now you will go home livid, good!”
