Argentina legend Diego Maradona has said he
did not attend Lionel Messi's wedding , admitting that his invitation must have been "lost somewhere".
Maradona's name was left off the guest list
for Friday's star-studded event in Rosario.
His legendary countryman insists that he holds no grudge and still considers Messi to be a top professional and man.
Maradona, who is currently in Russia for the
Confederations Cup, told Sovetskiy Sport: "I
congratulate Messi; he knows how much I
love him.
"My invitation to the wedding was lost somewhere, but my attitude towards Messi
will not change because of this. He is a good
athlete and an excellent guy."
Messi's international team-mates Angel Di
Maria, Sergio Romero and Maxi Rodrgiuez
were in attendance.
As were Messi's Barca team-mates of past
and present Neymar, Luis Suarez, Javier
Mascherano, Xavi, Samuel Eto'o and Carles
Puyol.
