Football fans were left bewildered when a photo featuring Sergio Busquets alongside Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero went viral, sparking a storm of discussions across social media platforms.
The intriguing image, however, turned out to be a deceptive portrayal, quickly dispelling the initial shock.
In the widely circulated picture, Sergio Busquets, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, and Benjamin, the grandson of the legendary Diego Maradona, appeared side by side.
The collaborative photo, seemingly capturing a significant moment, initially garnered enthusiastic reactions from fans.
However, the excitement was short-lived, as the image, particularly on Twitter (now X), was debunked as a hoax.
Notably, the misleading photo also inaccurately portrayed Lionel Messi’s feet.
How’s this possible….😭 pic.twitter.com/2uWRj53Il1

Sergio Busquets recently joined forces with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami after Messi’s decision not to return to Barcelona. Choosing Inter Miami after a two-year stint with PSG, Messi found a new home alongside familiar faces in the MLS.
Co-owner David Beckham, keen on strengthening the team, appointed Gerardo Martino as the head coach to guide Inter Miami through a challenging phase.
The collaboration at Inter Miami marks a significant reunion for Busquets and Messi, who had previously been teammates an impressive 569 times during their illustrious careers at Barcelona.
Messi’s return to the team, secured on a free transfer from PSG, allowed them to build on their remarkable tally of shared experiences on the field.
Jordi Alba, initially an observer from the sidelines, later joined the ranks at Inter Miami. Witnessing Messi’s enduring brilliance, Alba saw Messi’s impactful debut against Cruz Azul, where he sealed victory with a spectacular free-kick in extra time.
Messi continued to showcase his prowess with two goals and an assist in a triumphant match against Atlanta.
With five victories in 22 games played so far, Inter Miami, under the leadership of Gerardo Martino, faces the challenge of ascending the league standings as they navigate the remaining stretch of the MLS season.
The team aims to overcome obstacles and make a significant impact in the league, fueled by the collective experience and skill of players like Busquets and Messi.
