5 times Lionel Messi displayed his funnier side

#4 ‘You are very bad’

One of the reasons why the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner is actually a 5-time Ballon d’or winner is his insane dribbling skills. The Argentine’s short stature gives him a low centre of gravity that allows him to dribble past opponents with ease. However, the former Newell’s kid is very sensitive about his height.

So when Espanyol defender, Alvaro Gonzalez, told him that he is “too short,” Messi instantly replied back with a serious face, “and you are very bad,” before letting out a grin. Gonzalez was a sport and nodded his head in agreement, seemingly saying, “I think we can both agree that both of us are right.”

After that the two broke out in smiles as they seem to have enjoyed a good bit of banter among them.
