VIDEO: You have to feel for this elderly man whose autograph request was denied by Messi

Poor chap!

We’re a little torn on this one.

Sure, Lionel Messi is the best footballer of all time and a busy man to say the least but we can’t help but feel that he could have taken the time to make this old man’s day.

As Barcelona made their way to Madrid to face Atletico, the Barcelona superstar can be seen ignoring the outstretched arm of an elderly gentleman who had just had his piece of paper signed by Neymar (who we’d always have thought would have been a bit more of an arseh**e than his Argentine counterpart).

After he brushes of the fan, he then goes on to continue signing for the younger generation.

Not cool Leo, not cool.
