Chicharito almost came to blows with a teammate on Wednesday (Video)

Not happy

On a goalscoring streak like his, we can’t blame Javier Hernandez for getting frustrated when not given the ball.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward scored his 12th goal in 11 games when he cancelled out Lionel Messi’s opener early on against Barcelona.

But it could have been two for Chicharito if he had been played through by Karim Bellarabi when Hernandez was in a better position.

Bellarabi took the shot on and it was saved by the goalkeeper, much to the disgust of Hernandez who made no bones about letting his teammate know what he thought of the decision.

The former Manchester United striker stormed over to Bellarabi and went head to head with him before being pulled apart by the referee.

It almost boiled over into Lee Bowyer/Kieron Dyer levels of teammate bashing which is not what we’d have expected for someone whose nickname translates to “Little Pea.”
