Lionel Messi in most 'unforgettable' photobomb of all time as legend casually interrupts couple's romantic moment

IMAGINE posing for a romantic video shot with your partner only to be PHOTOBOMBED by Lionel Messi.

Well, for one lucky couple, this exact thing happened.

Football fans across the globe could only dream of getting this close to the superstar and Argentina World Cup winner.

The Barcelona legend is back in Spain while club football takes a short break for the latest international window.

His Inter Miami side are in the thick of things in the MLS play-offs having defeated Nashville 4-0 to win 2-1 overall in the best of three series – with Messi netting a double – to set up a crack at Cincinatti later this month.

Messi, 38, has turned out for French big hitters PSG and now MLS outfit Inter Miami since his exit from the La Liga giants.

But Barcelona will always hold a special place in his heart and he took to Instagram to upload a number of images from his return to familiar, but new looking surroundings.

He wrote: "Last night I returned to a place I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you guys made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world.

"I hope one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I never got to…"
