Abidal celebrates Pedro goal by slapping Messi in the face

Barcelona defender Eric Abidal gave Lionel Messi an inadvertent slap in the face as the team celebrated Pedro's first goal (which Messi set up) in its 5-1 win over city rivals Espanyol on Saturday. Of course, Abidal certainly didn't mean to whack his teammate in the head as he tried to get involved in the group hug. He probably just forgot how tiny Messi really is and thus, ended up giving him a Three Stooges-style greeting.

The best part of this incident, however, is the goofy smile on Messi's face even after getting swatted upside the head. Like the futile attempts of opposing defenders trying to keep him from scoring, happy Messi takes it in stride.
