Vicente Moreno and Leo Messi had a small confrontation in the first clash against Mallorca in LaLiga. The Mallorca coach revealed that Messi told him that they were going to score seven goals against them.

The first leg between Barcelona and Mallorca had an exchange of words between Vicente Moreno and Leo Messi. The coach of Mallorca revealed what the Argentinean said in that match.

"There is an action that goes unnoticed, but it's Messi. There was a foul, that later seeing the images, it is a foul, we must recognize it, but to me live it did not seem to me. I told the referee and Messi didn't think so. There was an exchange of words," he said on Edu Pino's Youtube channel.

But it wasn't all on the pitch, it was also at half-time. "The story happened in the dressing room corridor. Messi told me they were going to put seven past us. He was telling Luis Suarez that they had to put seven past us. In fact, my players were telling me that I was to blame for the defeat because I'd upset Leo. He's the best in the world, look at his character," he said.

Vicente Moreno himself explained at a press conference what happened at the time. "There are players who are in a bubble and you can't reason with them. For some things he is a different player, and for others he is a person like any other," he said.
