Lionel Messi reportedly launched into an astonishing rant at Real Madrid right back Alvaro Arbeloa after Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by their bitter rivals at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

The 25-year-old is alleged to have sought out the former Liverpool defender in the car park following the Copa del Rey clash,

According to reports in Spanish newspaper Marca, Messi called Arbeloa 'stupid' during a tirade that left the Madrid player stunned.

Arbeloa's wife, who is expecting a child, was with the Spain international and is said to have been shocked at Messi's behaviour.

The four-time World Player of the Year was reportedly dragged away from the scene and taken back to the Barcelona team bus.

Messi is also said to have had a bust-up with Real assistant manager Aitor Karanka in the tunnel, shouting: 'What are you looking at? Shut up. You’re just [Jose] Mourinho’s puppet'.

Real midfielder Xabi Alonso was seen to reproach Messi several times during the first-leg clash, the second between the sides this season.

Cesc Fabregas gave the visitors the lead just after the break before Raphael Varane fired home a late leveller to leave the tie poised ahead of the second leg at the Nou Camp on February 27.

Maliciously fabricated tale from the cooking pot of Mourinho and Madrid media, based on a misunderstood tweet by Arbeloa's wife, and stirred by Callejon.

Messi came with the team bus which left 45mins after the game. In the interview, Callejon claims Messi waited for 1:30mins after the match in the carpark just to insult Arbeloa. Defies common sense.

Anyway, Arbeloa's wife Carlota tweeted that her tweet about someone insulting her was not about Messi.
