LIONEL MESSI riled Liverpool supporters when the Barcelona star showed the ugly side of his game in their 3-0 win on Wednesday evening.

As he danced past a host of Liverpool players down the right wing, he was finally tackled by a tenacious Andy Robertson.
And after being humiliated by a cute body feint, James Milner was keen to get revenge.
The veteran midfielder gave Messi a shoulder barge which sent him tumbling.
Messi was keen to make the most of it, rolling around on the touchline provoking an angry reaction towards Milner from the home supporters.
He then held up an imaginary yellow card to try and get Milner booked.
After, Lionel Messi turned to a nearby camera and smiled to toy with fans back home who could see what he was up to.
It created an iconic Champions League image and in the second half, Messi was about to back up his antics by letting his football do the talking.
After Liverpool came flying out of the blocks in search on a crucial away goal, Barcelona was clinical.
Luis Suarez kneed the ball onto the crossbar after a slick counter-attack.
The danger wasn’t cleared as Alisson and Robertson lay helpless in the crowded penalty box, Messi was on hand to calmly chest and slot home.
After being blocked off by Fabinho, Messi had sight of goal from 35 yards.
What followed was spectacular. He bent the ball around the wall and into the top left corner giving Alisson no chance.
It was his eighth goal directly from a free-kick this season and his 600th for Barcelona.
