Manchester City's teenage left-back Angelino was thrilled to take part in senior Argentina training.
Angelino, full name Jose Angel Esmoris Tasende, was one of a number of City's elite development squad invited to make up the numbers in a training session with Argentina ahead of their friendly with Portugal at Old Trafford this week.
Angelino said: "I couldn't believe I was defending against Messi. I didn't tackle him as I didn't want to injure him! 'It was great experience for me to train with one of the best players in the world. We didn't expect this. To see all those big stars playing with us."
