This fanatical Barca fan loves Messi a little too much (Pic)

Too far?

Another game, another winning goal. Standard stuff from the best footballer ever.

Lionel Messi started Barcelona’s game at Atletico Madrid on the bench, after missing training on Friday to be with his new baby boy Mateo.

That didn’t stop him entering the fray on the hour mark and winning a tough encounter for the Catalans with a lovely goal set up by Luis Suarez…

His vital intervention sent the crowd wild, which is par for the course for the little genius.

The Barca fans adore him, and second only to a prized selfie is a match-worn jersey from the Argentine. It is the holy grail of game day mementos.

However, one Barcelonista at the Calderon Stadium perhaps needs to reevaluate his priorities.

He was seen in the away section holding a very simple but morally dubious sign meant for Barca’s star man.

It read: “Messi I will trade you my sister for your shirt!”

Steady on fella…
