After Barcelona's victory over Seville in the second leg of the Spanish Cup 1/2 finals, Lionel Messi, the Catalans' striker, and captain, had an argument in the tunnel post-game with Seville's president, Pepe Castro, and the Monchi club's technical director, according to Mundo Deportivo, citing Cadena Ser.

Sevilla FC sporting director Monchi told the Argentine:

“You always win the same!”

Lionel  Messi responded:

“Today, you go home warm.”

Some believe he was alluding to the match's contentious refereeing decisions.

The leaders of Sevilla FC fell silent after this phrase and did not continue the fight.

Barcelona rebounded from an 0-2 loss in the first meeting of the Spanish Cup semi-final against Seville, scoring 3-0 at home and advancing to the finals, where they will face the winner of the Levante vs. Athletic contest.
