The Argentinean footballer performs as guitarist Noel Gallagher in the group and has also recruited a Barcelona teammate to play singer Liam but does not want to admit who it is yet.

“Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-90s. We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted. I also spent a lot of time getting the mannerisms right,” Messi said.

The 23-year-old footballer insists his band will tour soon and said he has invited Noel to see them play.
