Just a day after yet another masterful show guided Barcelona to a 5-1 Champions League victory, the world's greatest player, Lionel Messi, touched down on London's Hackney Marshes.
However, a planned kickabout was cancelled after a 500-strong mob surrounded the player after his helicopter touched down. He also backed out of another 5-a-side event later in East London, causing uproar amongst locals who had waited hours to see their idol. A boot signing at Brick Lane did go ahead as scheduled, though.
Looking at some of the youtube uploads of videos from those at the scene, with the rather, erm, "enthusiastic" crowd, perhaps it's no surprise he was quite keen to fly back to Spain ASAP.
