Barcelona and Atletico Madrid took part in the second Supercopa de Espana semi-final on Thursday evening, yet the crowd at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah were focused mainly on the presence of Lionel Messi.
The Argentine's name was chanted throughout the warmup, whilst he was cheered every single time he touched the ball in the first half of the match.
The same could not be said for Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde, with the Spaniard being booed and jeered by those in the crowd.
