Lionel Messi snubs an old man wanting an autograph

Barcelona Posted Vine of Lionel Messi Snubbing Old Man Asking for Autograph

It seems Lionel Messi can do no wrong.

The Barcelona star is widely regarded as the best player that's ever lived and is loved by football fans from all corners of the world.

But it isn't just his goalscoring records that everyone seems to admire, the little Argentinean also has a lot of fans thanks to being seen a down to earth, nice young man.

While Cristiano Ronaldo is seen as a brilliant but arrogant footballer, Messi is the mercurial opposite, the sort you can enjoy watching and then take to the pub where HE will buy you a pint.

But a video - actually uploaded by Barcelona's social media team before being quickly deleted - appears to show Messi snubbing an older looking chap who wants an autograph.

Arriving at Madrid airport ahead of a La Liga title decider against Atletico, the Barcelona players - clad in double denim - are shown signing autographs...except for Messi.

He seems to take one look at the old man and decide against signing, before walking on.

But while you might think the world would be shocked by such behaviour from the nicest footballer on the planet..actually everyone seems to somehow even love him more.
