Guess who is getting lucky this September? It is none other than the Kapoor ladka who has struck gold. While everyone knows that actor Ranbir Kapoor is a huge sport fanatic, he is particularly very fond of football. He is passionate about the sport and his favourite team is Barcelona FC.
\nIncidentally, the die-hard football fan was also appointed the Indian brand ambassador for Barcelona FC, the football club recently.
\nNot just that, Ranbir was also one amongst those millions of football lovers who was present at the Wembley stadium for the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, Barcelona had also won the cup this year and now that their star player Lionel Messi is coming down to India, Ranbir has already fixed his date with the star.
\nMessi will don the captain\u2019s armband for the first time as Argentina plays a friendly match against Venezuela at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on September 2.
\nRanbir is currently shooting for Anurag Basu\u2019s Barfee in Kolkata and has already booked his tickets for the match. A source from the sets says, \u201cAnurag and Ranbir both are very keen to watch the match and have already decided and booked their tickets. They are die-hard fans of the football club and are super excited to meet the star player\u201d.<\/p>\n

The actor who had the opportunity to meet Messi earlier told reporters at a press conference, \u201cI had the good fortune of meeting him recently. He signed his jersey for me and I got couple of pictures with him. I am coming to watch the game only as a fan. I am a big supporter of football and I hope that people come and watch it too.\u201d
\nThe 28-year-old actor too vehemently argued that his team was definitely better than football club Manchester United. \u201cIt will be great for football as a sport in our country when the big stars come in and I hope that it does something for this sport. We all know that Barcelona is a much better team and also the UEFA champions.\u201d<\/p>\n
