Como coach Fabregas was interviewed before the friendly match and talked about the possibility of Messi joining Cuomo.

Messi's wife Antonella appeared in the stands to watch the game when Cuomo defeated Lille 3-2 in a friendly match last Friday.

Xiaofa said to this: "Messi joins Cuomo? Never say it is impossible."

Fabregas replied, explaining: "Antonella was on vacation at my house at that time, and she happened to see friends. We are friends, and our wives and children are friends. But Messi is still in the United States now."
