Lionel Messi is set to be reunited with a familiar face when Argentina face El Salvador in a friendly at Landover's FedEx Field on Saturday.
El Salvador coach Albert Roca is a Spaniard who spent five years at Barcelona as an assistant to Frank Rijkaard.
During his time at Camp Nou, between 2003 and 2008, Roca was able to witness Messi's emergence and development into one of the world's leading players.
Roca is quoted by ESPN Brasil as saying: "I was lucky to be three or four years with him when he began to come to the first team.
