Almost forgot about this, remember a mate of mine saying he saw Messi and a few first team players watching in the stands. Think Messi was inspired by watching Febian Brandy after this game :D

We almost signed Jonathan Soriano on the back of that, or maybe a few years later. Think he played for Barcelona B that day.

Think he went on to score like 70 in 100 games for Salzburg!
 
I was there, Messi sat a few rows behind us, left the stadium early whilst 3-0 down.. and it wasn't because of the score.

Baffling, how could you possibly know why he left ?
 
Was this the tour that featured the infamous bridge saga on the old-old site?

He was only there to watch the Swans.
