Argentina footballer Lionel Messi is said to have now formed an Oasis tribute band.
Messi plays guitarist Noel Gallagher in the group, who are set to embark on a secret European tour. He has apparently recruited a Barcelona team mate to play Liam Gallagher, but has refused to reveal their identity.
“Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-90s,” he told The Sun. “We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted. I also spent a lot of time getting the mannerisms right.” Messi has become an Oasis convert ever since Argentina team mate Carlos Tevez introduced him to the band before this summer’s World Cup. He recently described the Manchester group’s music as the best “I have ever heard”.

However, in the reality of the footballing world, Adam Johnson thinks he can be England’s answer to Lionel Messi.
The Manchester City winger was named in Fabio Capello’s preliminary World Cup squad for South Africa before being axed before the tournament.
Despite that disappointment, the 23-year-old said: “If you look at Arjen Robben and Lionel Messi, they are playing on the right even though they are left-footed. I will play on the left or the right. “There are not many players who go past people properly. There are a lot of players who play on the wing who just go up and down and work hard.”
Argentine footballer Lionel Messi has invited Oasis band member Noel Gallagher to come and watch him play at the Barcelona-Real Madrid derby.
