Lionel Messi Appears to Curse at Valencia Fans Who Threw Objects at Barcelona

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi didn't have to contend with just the Valencia defense on his way to a brace during Saturday's 3-2 victory.

After scoring the winner from the penalty spot in the 94th minute, Messi celebrated with his teammates in front of the Curva Nord stand at Mestalla Stadium. While the teammates were huddled together, a fan threw a bottle that struck Luis Suarez and Neymar, per ESPN FC.

After the two players fell to the pitch, Messi appeared to direct a profanity-filled tirade at the fans while shrugging off teammates who seemingly urged him to fall back, via beIN Sports USA:
