There was words exchanged with Lionel Messi and the Dutch manager Louis van Gaal at full-time last night. Edgar Davids had to step in as peace makers between the two near the Dutch bench. Messi wasn’t happy with the former Manchester United manager at all, see their exchange below;

Mess and Argentina are going to fight tooth and nail to achieve this and they showed that last night.
