Lionel Messi was 'very provocative and RUDE' during El Clasico clashes, says former Real Madrid goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, claiming 'you can't even think about' the things the ex-Barcelona star would say to Pepe and Sergio Ramos

Former Real Madrid and Liverpool shot-stopper Jerzy Dudek has revealed that Lionel Messi would try to provoke Los Blancos stars Pepe and Sergio Ramos during El Classico fixtures.

Dudek spent four years with the LaLiga side, in which he mostly played as second-fiddle and a backup to Spaniard Iker Casillas, although he was involved during some El Classico fixtures, even if it was from the sidelines.

The Polish goalkeepers admitted that Messi and his manager Pep Guardiola, now Manchester City boss, would be very rude to try and annoy their opposition.
