Lionel Messi: Barcelona player unhappy with 'media lies' after win

Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi has responded angrily to reports that he made a gesture after being substituted in Barcelona's 4-1 win at home to Real Sociedad.
The 26-year-old scored his seventh league goal of the season in the win but was taken off by coach Gerardo Martino with 10 minutes left.
Madrid-based tabloid AS  reported that Messi was unhappy with being replaced.

But Messi said: "I didn't mean to make any gesture when I came off. I will not accept that certain media tell lies."
Neymar opened the scoring with his first league goal for Barca before Messi headed home the Brazilian's cross.
Sergio Busquets scored Barcelona's third from 20 yards after Messi had hit the crossbar and Sociedad pulled one back when Alberto De La Bella tapped in.
Messi then beat three men to lay on the fourth for Marc Bartra before he was substituted for Sergi.
Messi later wrote on his Facebook page:  "Nobody likes to be replaced, but we must accept it because it is the best for our team.
"What I will not accept is that certain media tell lies about any situation that happens around me."
Barcelona have won all six La Liga games but are only ahead of Atletico Madrid on goal difference after they held on to beat Osasuna 2-1.
Diego Costa scored twice for Atletico, who face Real Madrid on Saturday.
Real can close the gap on the top two when they face Elche on Wednesday.

Was Bobbi Kristina Used for Illuminati Satanic Blood Sacrifice?

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi...

How Technology Is Killing Eye Contact

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates , ...
