How the battle between Messi and Flilpe Luis ended
Their war began on February 2, 2016, when the defender was sent off for a brutal kick on Messi
FC Barcelona's clashes with Atletico Madrid are often full of tension. They are physical and competitive. And usually sparks fly. While Neymar was the most focused on during the game, the duel with the most history is Filipe Luis and Leo Messi.
Their war began on February 2, 2016, when the defender was sent off for a brutal kick on Messi. Undiano Mallenco showed him the red card.
A month later Filipe declared Messi "is protected by the press and by La Liga".
ON this occasion they clashed again, and this time it was Messi booked for fouling Filipe Luis in the 89th minute - although earlier the Brazilian had rowed with him and Neymar.
But at the end of the game, Sport photographer Valenti Enrich captured a different side to the duel, as you can see in our picture.
