WATCH: Royal Challengers Bangalore take a sly dig at FC Barcelona with Lionel Messi’s picture

WATCH: Royal Challengers Bangalore take a sly dig at FC Barcelona with Lionel Messi’s picture: Lionel Messi was trending in the football headlines for the last few week’s. The news of the Argentine’s potential exit from Barcelona hogged the headlines. Messi was looking to leave his boyhood club FC Barcelona due to a rift between him and the club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

However, on Friday, Lionel Messi confirmed that he will be staying in the Catalan club for one more season. The reason being that he did not want to drag his boyhood club and the club of his life to Court.

The potential news of Messi’s departure attracted the attention of a lot of clubs. However, Manchester City and Paris Saint-German were in the best position to secure and afford his services. But, now the scenario has changed, as Messi has decided to stay in the Blaugrana colours for one more season. So, now the attention has turned to players who might join the Argentine and play alongside him in Barcelona this season.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has already started their outdoor training sessions.

In the meantime, the Indian Premier League is set to kickstart on September 19 after a significant amount of delay. The BCCI has to host the cash-rich tournament in UAE, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. All the franchises have already reached the UAE and started their outdoor training sessions before the start of the IPL.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) also decided to add to the funny side of the Lionel Messi transfer saga. RCB has also started with their outdoor training sessions in Dubai. They posted a picture of their captain Virat Kohli playing football. RCB added a funny twist, captioning the picture as “We heard Messi was looking for some new teammates”.
