Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been accused of lacking respect and deliberately trying to embarrass their opponents after the Argentine passed up the chance to net his 300th La Liga goal and instead put a hat-trick on a plate for team mate Luis Suarez during a penalty routine reminiscent of the Pires-Henry botch job for Arsenal back in 2005 - except this time
it worked!
With Barcelona leading Celta Vigo 3-1 at the Nou Camp, Messi stepped forward in the 81st minute to take a spot-kick but stunned the crowd by tapping the ball to the side for Suarez, who raced into the box and fired past bewildered goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.
Messi and Suarez wheeled away in celebration and were quickly mobbed by their team mates, who looked as surprised as anyone.
