Argentine Lionel Messi met Frenchman Paul Pogpa in Dubai yesterday at one of Dubai's most famous restaurants.

The British newspaper Mirror reported the details of Bougba's conversation with Messi. The Frenchman was fond of the Barcelona star and told him that Ngulu Canti had stopped him in France and Argentina's World Cup match. Messi responded with a laugh: "This is a lie."
