Barcelona’s Lionel Messi refused to be subbed off v Eibar; Neymar taken off instead [Vine]

Possibly the greatest footballer of all time, Lionel Messi was on the scoresheet once again as Barcelona beat Eibar 3-0.

The Argentine forward is just two goals away from becoming the all-time La Liga top goalscorer, aged only 27.

After scoring his goal yesterday, Messi’s coach Luis Enrique attempted to sub his star player but ended up having to take off Neymar instead.

Bringing on Munir, Enrique shouted ‘Leo, Leo’ at the Barcelona number 10 but, to his frustration, found his calls ignored.

Lionel Messi certainly rules the roost at Barcelona. Perhaps a little too much?
