It seems like Barcelona either could not decide whether to put Messi in the squad to face Inter Milan or not. The indecisiveness agitated and put the audience in a state of confusion. However, in the third attempt, they confirmed that the Argentine superstar will make the trip to Italy.

It is not clear whether he will make an appearance or will be one of the subs on the night, but Messi will surely accompany his team mates to San Siro to help them improve their score at top of Group B of UCL season 2018-19. Barcelona are top with 3 wins in 3 games, Inter Milan are second with 6 points, while Tottenham Hotspurs and PSV Eindhoven are third and fourth respectively with 1 point.

Here are some of the reactions from the social media
