Messi the Ballon offer Wednesday

The Argentine award shared his room with the fans to pass just before the Cup match against Malaga

Leo Messi Ballon will offer the Barcelona fans on Wednesday, just before the quarter-final of the Copa del Rey against Malaga. The Argentine was named world's best player for the fourth time last week in Zurich, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta. Barca-Malaga start at 21.30 and tickets are available from 9 euros (members receive a 50% discount).

It is the second time that Messi shares the prize with the Camp Nou in a Cup match two years ago it did before Barça-Betis leg of the quarterfinals. Interestingly, in January 2012 also showed the trophy against Betis, in this case, however, in a League commitment. His first Ballon offered it in December 2009 on the eve of a derby that could not play due to injury.
