THE world player
of the year was in less than gracious mood as he took a swipe at Neil
Lennon's Celtic following Wednesday night's incredible result at
Parkhead.
Beaten Lionel Messi trudges off at Parkhead
BUBBLING Lionel Messi has spat the dummy after branding Celtic’s win against Barcelona “lucky”.
The
Argentine cry baby – who became a dad for the first time last week when
his son Thiago was born – threw the toys out of the pram after his
side’s 2-1 Champions League loss in Glasgow.
Messi kept a dummy in his sock at Parkhead but failed to produce it even when he scored Barca’s injury-time consolation.
Instead
he had a swipe at Celtic by accusing them of scoring their first goal
from a corner simply because they were bigger than Tito Vilanova’s men.
The
World Player of the Year believes Neil Lennon’s side were fortunate to
emerge with one of the best results in the club’s 125-year history. Adam Matthews and Messi
Messi said: “They were very lucky. It’s a shame but we just couldn’t do anything about it.“We did everything in the game but just couldn’t get past them.
“Celtic came at us twice and got two goals from it. When they scored they just locked their defence.
“The first goal from the corner arrived because they are a bigger team than us – it was the same as their goal in the Nou Camp.
“The second goal was our own fault.
“My goal didn’t mean too much but I’m sure I’ll score many goals and significant victories to dedicate to the birth of my son.
“We are still in first place and we are relaxed.
“We did everything well and made good chances but the ball just didn’t go in.”
