Report says Lionel Messi broke down in tears in the dressing room after Barcelona was walloped by Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield.
British media say, Messi, who had made it his mission to win ‘that trophy’ was inconsolable in the Barcelona dressing room following the 4-0 defeat despite his team winning the first leg 3-0 at the Camp Nou.
Adding salt to his injury was a random drugs test he was selected for by anti-doping officials which made the the team bus depart for Liverpool John Lennon Airport without him.
Spanish media also claim that, on Messi’s arrival at the airport, some group of angry Barcelona supporters confronted him over their team’s latest collapse in the Champions League.
