Messi and Fabregas have been friends since their days together at Barcelona’s famous La Masia Academy.

The friends with their respective partners hung out together to have lunch in London after the Best FIFA Football Awards which happened on Monday, October 23.

Messi’s wife Roccuzzo put up a photo she snapped at the meet.

“Beautiful lunch with them! @daniellasemaan @ cescf4bregas @leomessi !! See you next time,” she wrote alongside the photo on Instagram.

The crew was also pictured boarding a taxi after lunch.

Messi attended the awards’ ceremony where he lost out on the big prize of the night to his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Individually, the Argentine had a better year compared to Ronaldo but the Portuguese’ La Liga and Champions League double win with Real Madrid gave him the edge.

Messi won just the Copa del Rey with Barcelona last season.
