Messi Gives Wry Smile After Embellishment Following Mean Shove From Milner

Liverpool spent a lot of the first half against Barcelona chasing Lionel Messi’s backside. Fabinho will probably have nightmares of the Blaugrana No. 10 jersey always fluttering just out of his reach. 

But when James Milner finally caught up to Messi at one point after the ball had gone out of bounds, he knocked the Argentine on his backside. 

What ensued was a wild embellishment from Messi, who isn’t usually prone to such antics. He followed that with a cheeky smile. 

Fair or foul?

Spurs-Ajax First Leg Will Probably Be More Entertaining Than Barça-Liverpool

Forget all the complaints about which team had more rest or which team has more money — the first leg of the Champions League semifinals between Ajax and Tottenham was everything you want in a big match. 

Full of attacking intent from both sides, neither of which backed away from a single challenge, Ajax turned 30 minutes of first-half dominance into a 1-0 victory, a third-straight away win in the knockout rounds for the Amsterdam side.
