EXTRA TIME: Watch Julius Malema meeting Lionel Messi

Little did we know that the best efforts were made before and after the game to soak in that video and photo opportunity with Barcelona stars.

We saw this with Sundowns players, the media, their children, spectators and even the politicians. 

Here we see one of the most talked about politicians in South Africa, Julius Malema being introduced to Leo Messi. 

There was a line of meetings, but the Economic Freedom Fighter founder literally stands out for the photo opportunity.
