Politics / Barca Fans by nairaminds(m): 6:47pm On Sep 25, 2015 |
After being hammered by Celta Vigo some hours
ago Barcelona players were so embarrassed that
they chose to hide their identities. LIONEL MESSI dressed like a muslim woman (fully covered in a hijab)...while walking in SOME where in Spain, an old woman approached him and said, "Hey Messi ." Angry that an old lady had recognized him he went back and dressed like a nun, covering the whole body except the eyes. Again the same old woman approached him and said, "Hey Messi", nice to meet you again." Confused and puzzled he asked, "But how did you recognise me, old woman?" The old lady laughed so hard and said, "Are you stupid...it's me, Iniesta." Where's Neymar and Suarez. cc:TonyeBarcanister |
