The Argentine is missing the game as a player but didn't want to miss it as a spectator

“Papa, are you going to the goal again?” asks Thiago each time his dad heads to Camp Nou. But this time they went together, along with player attention officer Pep Costa.

Messi and Thiago were pictured sitting together in the stands to watch Barcelona’s clash with Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Messi had his arm in a sling after the bone break he suffered there against Sevilla last weekend, which ruled him out for three weeks.

His presence was not un-noticed by fans, who asked him for photos and selfies.

Messi was replaced in the side by Rafinha Alcantara, who played at Inter on loan last season.
