This evening (local time) there was a meeting in Seoul between representatives of FC Barcelona and the promoters of the tour to consider the participation of Leo Messi in Wednesday’s match.

Given the progress made by the player in the last training session and the fact that the squad will have another session before the match, the coaches decided that the Argentine forward will be able to play a few minutes.

In addition, the extraordinary reception given to FC Barcelona, the large number of Barça fans in South Korea and the enormous expectation that has been created, have all been taken into account in making the decision for Messi to take some part in the friendly.
