Speaking during a La Liga title winners party, Messi took to the megaphone and screamed: “Visca el Barça, visca Catalunya there aguante Argentina, la concha de su madre! ” which roughly translates to: “Long Live Barca, Long live Catalonia, and Argentina!”

It should be noted he wasn't holding his son, Thiago, at the time as he looked to be blind drunk.
