Report: Lionel Messi Cried After Barcelona Loss; Hassled by Fans on Video

Lionel Messi reportedly "broke down in tears" in the Barcelona dressing room after their 4-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday and was subsequently confronted by his own fans at the airport.

According to the Guardian's Andy Hunter, the No. 10 was "inconsolable" after the Reds overturned a 3-0 defeat from the first leg of the semi-final at Anfield.

The Argentinian's night got even worse as he was held back at the stadium for drug testing while his team-mates made their way to John Lennon airport on the team bus.
