The Barcelona and Argentina legend
posed for a picture and got a special
game jersey from the 2014 Defensive
Player of the Year.
“The two best football players on the
planet have finally come face to
face.
No, Lionel Messi didn’t cross swords
with Cristiano Ronaldo once more –
he met JJ Watt.
The Houston Texans defensive end is
widely regarded as the finest NFL
player in the game and was awarded
Defensive Player of the Year last
season after a remarkable campaign.
The two met as Messi’s Argentina
continued their tour of the US with a
7-0 thrashing of Bolivia where the
Barcelona man scored twice.
And Watt was in awe of the little
maestro tweeting: “The best football
player on the planet”.
It’s certainly quite the scene with the
6’5″, 20 stone Watt dwarfing Messi
by a considerable margin.
The little and large image spread like
wildfire over social media with over
20,000 retweets in just 24 hours.
Messi’s teammate Sergio Aguero was
equally enamoured with Watt
posting a picture to Instagram.”
