Rumours of a bust-up between Messi and a City player did the rounds following Barca's recent UCL loss to the Citizens in England, while it was later reported that the Argentine had a heated exchange of words with Pep Guardiola's assistant Mikel Arteta.

Aguero sympathised with his countryman, but has now also revealed that Messi was taken for a routine drug test after losing 3-1 to Guardiola's side.

"Nothing happened. It was one of those things between players, but with nobody in particular," he told ESPN Radio FC.

"Leo, obviously given the result, was angry, but I never knew what had happened and Leo told me it was something stupid. When I got there, it had already happened and I saw he was furious.

"The only thing I did was try to calm him down. As well as that they had made him go through anti-doping.

"I had to change the subject a bit and we spoke a bit about the trip to Sao Paolo, but it was nothing."

On the football front, Messi has been in sublime form for Barca this season, scoring 16 goals in 14 matches, while he has assisted a further seven strikes.
