Former India captain Rahul Dravid ticked one of the items on his bucket list when he watched Lionel Messi play at Camp Nou.

Dravid, who is on vacation in Spain, took time out on Sunday to watch a La Liga match. “It’s one of the things I’ve always wanted to do. To come to Camp Nou, watch a football match and to be here, experience the atmosphere is absolutely electric,” Dravid told fcbarcelona.com.

“It’s incredible, I mean to be able to watch people like (Lionel) Messi and (Luis) Suarez play live is fantastic. So thanks to Barcelona FC for the hospitality, it’s been excellent.”

He was also presented a jersey which had his name on the back.
