La Liga star Leonel Messi was caught by cameras during Barcelona’s 4 – 1 win Saturday spitting in the direction of Malaga’s Portuguese defender, Sergio “Duda” Barbosa after the two collided in a game that probably shouldn’t have been played because of field conditions.

And Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola wasn’t too happy with his 21 year old playmaker saying, “It’s not right for these things to happen. We will try to avoid this type of thing.”

Messi has six goals on the season so far, three behind La Liga leader and teammate Samuel Eto’o with 9.
