Argentine fan spits on Lionel Messi at airport

An Argentine fan who also supports River Plate
of Argentina reportedly spat on Lionel Messi on
Sunday evening after his club Barcelona
celebrated winning the Club World Cup title in
Japan where he scored in the 3-0 win. While
heading through the Narita International Airport in
Tokyo, he was allegedly abused by an irate fan.
According to Spanish magazine Marca, Messi,
who some football fans in Argentina don't like
because they feel he shows more loyalty and zeal
towards Barcelona than Argentina, was about to
confront the fan when teammates Mascherano,
Luis Suarez and coach Luis Enrique came to calm
down the arising tension.
