There was an incident in the first half of Barcelona's win over Chelsea on Wednesday: after a referee's decision Lionel Messi ran up to Damir Skomina with strong protestations.
"Leo, turn it down," Skomina said. But Messi didn't like the referee's tone.
"You don't speak badly to me," Barcelona forward replied. "I didn't disrespect you, did I?"
