Lionel Messi and Marc-André Ter Stegen had a training ground squabble after they both went after a 50/50 ball, according to a new report in Spain. After Barcelona’s 2-0 loss to Valencia at Mestalla, the report says, tension was high in the squad.
This came after a different newspaper had reported that two “heavyweights” in the dressing room had an “incident” in training. The way they described it, one of the two “attempted a joke that the ‘victim’ didn’t understand well.”
That lead to an argument with a stronger tone.
