Fans spotted a lookalike of ‘Lionel Messi’ playing dhol outside the Old Trafford ground in Manchester on Tuesday. With fans not allowed inside the stadium due to a bio-secure bubble, Messi’s doppelganger was spotted sporting the Pakistan jersey.
Manchester City might think of signing football stunner Messi after he ended his contract with Barcelona, but here it was his identical copy that turned the eyes of the fans.
Netizens started sharing the picture of Messi’s lookalike on the social media.
Speculations have been rife over Messi’s next destination ever since the 6-time Ballon d’Or winner decided to prematurely end his association with Barcelona, a club he has been playing for nearly two decades. Both Manchester clubs City and United are reportedly interested in availing Messi’s services while a few other top-spending clubs across Europe are also in the fray.
Meanwhile, FC Barcelona launched their new 2020-21 Stadium kits for sale today. The club took to Twitter to announce this news with a poster that featured players donning the new jersey.
