Lionel Messi 'the Peacemaker'

Argentina take over Brazil’s famous Corinthians Stadium on Tuesday night and star striker Lionel Messi has set aside the national rivalry by posing with a shirt with the message ‘Welcome to the Arena Corinthians’.

Messi and Co take on Switzerland in Sau Paulo, a city synonymous with the Brazilian national team, and the atmosphere promises to be white hot.

Rivalry between the two major footballing nations in South America goes back decades, but Messi was not afraid to pose with a shirt of Brazil's giants.
