Lionel Messi might be one of the best players in the world, but that doesn't excuse this ridiculous attempt to headbutt former Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
Fair play to the opponent for keeping his cool, barely reacting even when Messi put an arm around his throat.
Incredibly the Argentine avoided a red card for this, but we're not sure how.
Maybe because it was so out-of-character, but even still rules are rules.
Considering the amount of times he's hacked down, we're surprised he had such a reaction.
