Messi denies Ibiza nightclub scuffle with drunk partygoer
Lionel Messi has taken to Instagram to reject reports that he was almost involved in a nightclub fight with a drunken man on holiday in Ibiza.
The Barcelona and Argentina superstar reportedly had to be escorted away from a club where he had been enjoying a night out with his wife and friends after a man tried to start a fight with him.
But Messi quelled rumors that anything untoward had happened, publishing a photo of himself smiling together with his wife and friends in Ibiza along with the message: “Great night yesterday in Ibiza with friends. Do not believe anything you read out there that has nothing to do with reality.
“Everything was great last night and everyone treated us incredibly, as always!"
The Barcelona skipper added the hashtag “Fakenews.”
