None of them started, and only Busquets and Alba came on for the final half hour in their 4-1 victory, despite the 40,000-strong crowd being previously assured that all would feature. A chorus of boos rang out around the stadium, forcing the announcer to ask them to stop.

Regarding Messi not playing the match today, the government, as well as all football fans, are extremely disappointed about the organizer’s arrangement. The organizer owes all football fans an explanation.
Suarez, meanwhile, was sidelined with a knee injury. Beckham didn’t address the elephant in the room during his speech, but manager Gerardo Marino later did.
“We understand the disappointment of the fans for the absence of Leo and Luis Suarez,” he said.
