Ghanaian goalkeeper, Razak Brimah shared a photo with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi after his side Mamelodi Sundowns lost 3-1 to the Spanish giants in a friendly.

The game was played in South Africa on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, to mark 100 years since the birth of late South African President Nelson Mandela.

Brimah could not make the team as his side lost 3-1.

Sundowns conceded after just three minutes after a sloppy clearance from Bangaly Soumahoro fell to Ousmane Dembele, who blasted into the top corner.
