Leo Messi is unbeatable when it comes to playing actual football, but apparently when it comes to doing his thing the virtual way, he's not quite as good.He was at a promotional event for the Family Association of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (FAME) yesterday in his hometown, Rosario, where he played a PlayStation footie tournament to benefit the association.
Playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, Leo was up against eleven year old Santino Obrella, who went on to beat him 4-3 and 6-3. Both chose to play with FC Barcelona, Santino's team in the home kit and Leo's in the yellow away.
Young Santino admitted that he couldn't sleep all night from excitment prior to the event, but that luckily he managed to win in the end. He also acknowledged that Messi is a very good player when it comes to video games as well as on the pitch, saying that it was difficult to beat him.
"It's an honor to be here with you. Thanks for the invitation, and hopefully we'll all continue to work as well as now," declared Leo, who interrupted his own rest period to be at the event. He also hung around for endless autographs and photos with the kids present.
Do you think this loss will affect his bid for the Ballon D'or? :)
