Argentina without Lionel Messi beat Italy at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium

March 23, 2018 by Tony Bugby

ARGENTINA 2, ITALY 0

Lionel Messi, five times world player of the year, didn’t get to play at Manchester City.

The mercurial Messi failed to feature for Argentina against Italy to the huge disappointment of the 18,000 fans at the Etihad.

Messi was named on the bench but was pictured sat in the stand with City’s injured Argentine striker Sergio Aguero.

And though there were chants of “Messi, Messi” from the fans, there was no way he was going to make even the briefest of cameos.
