Video: Messi and Zlatan were having the craic in the tunnel before last night’s match

Words can't express just how much we love these two...

Anyone that has read Zlatan Ibrahimovic's controversial book will know that the brilliant strikers time at the Nou Camp was far from ideal. Fights with Pep Guardiola, failure to comply with club rules and a dissatisfaction at being played out of position to accommodate the genius of Lionel Messi were just some of the Swedish strikers issues. Zlatan is probably more familiar than most when it comes to returning to former clubs though and he took some time out before the match against Luis Enrique's side to share a joke with his former teammate. It seems that rumours of any bad blood between the pairing are completely false if this footage is anything to go by. Barcelona took top spot in the group thanks to a commanding 3-1 win against the French champions as Messi, Neymar and Suarez all netted while Ibrahimovic scored for the Parisians. We love how Thiago Motta playfully slaps Messi also in the clip. Take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DeRdSxhpQM It seems that the brilliant Argentinian has more than one friend playing their trade at the Parc De Princes as he stayed back after the match to chat with Ezequiel Lavezzi also. You can't shut Messi up, both on and off the pitch, it seems.
