Did you know? Lionel Messi was also part of a Coldplay concert earlier this year

Over a month before Roger Federer shared the stage with the iconic bank Coldplay, football great Lionel Messi was also part of a Coldplay concert. As per RMC Sport, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner skipped the annual UNFP award ceremony on May 28 to attend Coldplay’s concert in Barcelona. The UNFP ceremony is held every year to honour the best players in the Ligue 1, Ligue 2, and the D1 Arkema (Women's first division). 

The 36-year-old was seen enjoying his time at the Coldplay concert at the Montjuic Stadium and was seemingly keeping a low profile. However, the Barca fans in attendance identified him as sitting in the lower stands and began chanting his name. Here’s a look at the snippets from the concert.
