Lionel Messi caught the attention during that encounter when he appeared in a remarkable scene against the most expensive player in the history of the English national team, the Ecuadorian star Moises Caicedo.
The Argentine maestro Lionel Messi was seen leading an attack for the Tango dancers from the middle of the field, before dribbling past the player Caicedo, “the star of Chelsea,” and bringing him down in a scene that was widely circulated on social media platforms.

It is worth mentioning that the young player Caicedo, who is 21 years old, moved during the last summer transfer season to Chelsea in a deal worth £115 million, making it the most expensive deal in the history of the Premier League.
The Argentine star Lionel Messi was substituted before the end of the match, and the star Palacios, “a player of Bayer Leverkusen,” replaced him, which raised doubts about the possibility of Messi being injured.
