The video footage of the match clearly shows how Messi reacted furiously when provoked by the French international.

Messi was looking to dribble past the defender when the refree stopped play. As Messi was returing to his usual position, the Frenchman passed some remarks and the Argentine then decided to confront him as he grabbed his neck.
