Messi dodges fans as Zabaleta eyes Given clash

THERE are all sorts of ways to avoid your adoring public and the visiting Argentina stars gave a masterclass at Carton House yesterday evening.

With fans of all shapes and sizes lining the 300 metre route from the Maynooth hotel to their training pitch, some members of “La Seleccion” stopped to sign the odd autograph.

At the end of the makeshift tunnel, the media gathered hoping to grab a word with either Javier Mascherano about his Liverpool future or Lionel Messi about anything at all.
