Many players have felt the full force of a Scott Brown challenge down the years. The tough-tackling Celtic captain is not one to shy away from an old-fashioned 50/50 – in fact, he relishes them.
Tonight, he lined up his next victim; world player of the year Lionel Messi. The only problem for Brown, though, is that he’d be lucky even to get close to the Argentine.
As Brown lunged in full-force, Messi kept his cool and side-stepped the Scotsman. What a piece of skill this is.
