Reports: Mikel Arteta Denies Lionel Messi Bust-Up

FC Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi was said to be in a bust-up with Mikel Arteta after losing to Manchester City this week, but the Spaniard has denied that he insulted the Argentine. 

Revealed: Which Citizen Clashed With Messi In Tunnel Bust-Up

Following the Catalan club's 3-1 defeat to the English side in the UEFA Champions League during the week, reports claimed that the Messi was involved in a bust-up with a City player in the tunnel.

It was later suggested that it was in fact City staff member Mikel Arteta who the 29-year-old had fallen out with, but the Citizens have now denied the rumours.

According to Marca, the English club reportedly got in touch with their opponents to insist that Arteta has denied he clashed with Messi, with the club saying it's not in his character.

Despite City denying Arteta's involvement in the clash, it is certain that there was some sort of altercation, with Sergio Aguero admitting that although he did not see what happened, there was an issue.
