Watch: Messi bloodied by elbow to the face from Marcelo

Watch: Messi bloodied by elbow to the face from Marcelo

Reuters / Sergio Perez

The incident looks to be unintentional, though when it comes to this typically fiery rivalry between the two Spanish juggernauts, you can never be 100 percent certain.
