Fans enjoyed the match but disappointed with Lionel Messi's absence on the field!
While the match is a good one, fans felt sad for not being able to witness the four-time world player of the year, Lionel Messi playing LIVE at Shah Alam Stadium yesterday. There were a few times whereby the crowd were shouting "Messi" during substitution in hope that their favorite football idol can appear and play on the field. However, their demand was not fulfilled and they could only manage to see Messi having a stroll to the FC Barcelona Bench.
