#2 Spitting at Duda
The Argentine struggled at the Rosaleda Stadium, where Malaga players meticulously man-marked him in torrential rain. He encountered Duda several times before finally snapping near the end. It all happened in a La Liga game in 2008.
Messi spat in the direction of Duda as the Malaga player walked away after a collision. Naturally, this caused quite a stir in Spain, prompting then-Barcelona coach Guardiola to condemn his star player. “It is not right that these sorts of things can happen,” said Guardiola.
