Javier Mascherano has posted a photo online demonstrating the less glamorous side of international football. The Barcelona midfielder uploaded the snap to his Twitter account which showed him and Sergio Aguero looking bored while Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel di Maria, Lucas Biglia and others sat around playing cards.
Mascherano wrote: “Bored with @aguerosergiokun while they play cards...” The players were relaxing after coming from behind to beat Croatia 2-1 at the Boleyn Ground, their next match will be against Portugal on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Aguero revealed he didn’t even know who Messi was the first time they met. “He said: “Messi” and I didn’t know him. I asked him again to see if his name sounded familiar. He laughed then we all laughed.”
