Tito Vilanova brushes off Lionel Messi-David Villa spat

Tito Vilanova plays down the argument between Lionel Messi and David Villa during Barcelona's 2-0 win against Granada at Camp Nou.

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has played down the heated argument between Lionel Messi and David Villa during their 2-0 home win against Granada in La Liga on Saturday.

The duo exchanged words on one occasion at Camp Nou when Villa failed to pass the ball to Messi.

"There is nothing to gather [from what happened between Villa and Messi]," said Vilanova after the match.

"Whoever plays football knows discussions are a normality, and part of the game.

"Such occurrences are common signs that a team is alive. Not exchanging views for betterment would honestly suggest worse."

The win sees Barcelona maintain their perfect start to the league season with five victories out of five.
