Robertson regrets disrespecting ‘best ever’ Messi during Liverpool’s epic clash with Barcelona

Andy Robertson has aired his regret at having ruffled the hair of Lionel Messi, “the best player that’s ever played this game”, during Liverpool’s famous Champions League fight-back against Barcelona.

With emotions running high on a memorable European night at Anfield, the Scottish full-back tangled with the Argentine icon early on.

As both men ended up on the deck, Robertson could not help having a sly pop at Messi as he got back to his feet.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner did not take kindly to the actions of the Reds defender, but anything goes in the heat of battle.
