Callejon: 'Messi was out of order'

Real Madrid winger Jose Callejon has claimed that Lionel Messi's reported verbal abuse towards Alvaro Arbeloa was "not right".

Callejon took issue with Messi waiting an hour-and-a-half to "have a go" at Arbeloa, believing that enough time had elapsed for the Argentinian to have calmed down.

"I think that waiting an hour-and-a-half to have a go at another player is just not on," Marca quotes Callejon as saying.

"Maybe during a game it's okay to get a bit hot under the collar and say things that we later regret, but to have a go at another player in front of his wife after the match is not right."

The match on Wednesday night ended in a draw.
