Of course not. A second incident might say something about his temper, but it doesn't make him a prima donna. Ronaldo reputation comes from his pouty face, standing with his hands on his hips while the game is still going on, not celebrating with his teammates when somebody other than himself scores, etc.Filipower;3021206 said:"No history" might be an understatement. But you're saying that next time Messi does something like that you'll be the first to call him a prima donna?

They're very different, which is why I don't understand why you're trying to equate Messi's one act of frustration to Ronaldo's personality.Filipower;3021214 said:How does that compare to striking the ball against the opposition's supporters?

Worked up the pride to come here after a tie?Socrates;3021261 said:Messi is a douche. This isn't the first time either. Not to mention I'd take Ronaldo's personality over attacking the fans for no reason.
I wonder how that was not a yellow? If I remember right Gary Neville got a red for the exact same thing not too long ago.
Pepe was a monster.

Look I'm not apologizing Ronaldo, he's definitely got his ego; but that doesn't mean other players don't do it too. And particularly Messi seems to have this aura around him that you can't say anything bad about him because he's good at kicking a ball. Everyone makes mistakes, I'm not even saying Messi isn't a "nicer" guy than Ronaldo, but when he does something like that and you say "he was frustrated" or "show me another thing he's done", I mean... First of all, of course he was frustrated, and of course that was the reason why he did it, it doesn't make it right. Secondly, you're asking me to Google "Messi misbehaving" or something? I don't care if he's been a Saint all his life up until that point - it was a stupid thing to do.

And maybe there is finally a ref who actually shows pepe directly a red card after a hard attack... he's often unnecesserily hard in his duells.
Socrates;3021457 said:Thank you, agree with everything you said. It's like Messi is what Tiger Woods was before his scandal broke out. If this was Ronaldo, the baby eater who did it, the media would be calling for his head but because its Messi it's ok. He' just frustrated LOL I wonder if he kicks the ball like that everytime he has a frustrating game.
Also in terms of unsportsmanlike character from Messi, off the top of my head there is this one, attempted headbutt at a player, the intentional handball goal vs Espanyol, a slapping incident with another player if I remember right and that's just off the top of my head. Yeah, a real saint that Messi is.
Are you serious? If anything the only other player to have gotten another red should have been Dani Alves since the penal was called on him but I don't see how Pepe deserved a red....at all.
If you play like a bitch, Pepe will run you over.

I see you haven't matured any since you've been gone.Socrates;3021583 said:Looks like both he and Messi are suffering from sexual frustration what with Messi failing to woo a girl and Pique has been missing Ibra too long apparently. I wonder how these every so classy Unicef wearing players could even get frustrated and do such a thing.
If you're referring to this:Socrates said:Apparently Pique also started screaming obscenities at some of the Madrid players going down the town after the game ended.
