• The Manchester City starlet had just played against Messi in an international friendly
• Messi dazzled as the World Champions beat Australia at the Worker's Stadium

Lionel Messi brutally left Australia's player Alex Robertson hanging at the end of an international friendly on June 15.

Messi captained Argentina to a 2-0 win over Australia in Beijing, with the departing Paris Saint-Germain forward scoring the fastest goal of his career.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez set up the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner as soon as the game kicked off, who whipped in a curler past Socceroos skipper Matt Ryan. German Pezzella scored the other goal for the World Champions.

After the game, Robertson tried to get Messi's shirt as a souvenir but was seemingly ignored by the 35-year-old. The Manchester City starlet attempted to tug Messi's shirt in a bid to get his attention, but the Argentine icon wheezed past him.
