Messi said his teammates told him what Netherlands manager Van Gaal had said about him. Amidst all the tension of the game, Messi lost his temper, but he didn’t think to do such things.

“He said before the game, I know everything he (Van Gaal) said. Even some of my team-mates deliberately said to me ‘Did you see what he said?’

“That’s right, when it’s all over, I don’t like what I did, let’s move on, I don’t like it all..,” Messi said.
