Obama has recently been in South America but was unable to hook up with the Barcelona maestro as he is preparing for his country's game with Chile
Lionel Messi has forever left defenders trailing in his wake.
But it is not just footballers who can't get their hands on the Barcelona maestro - neither can President Obama !
The American leader has revealed that his daughters, Malia and Sasha, were gutted that they were unable to meet Messi during their recent trip to Argentina.
While they were able to meet one famous native, the one they really wanted to meet eluded them.
Talking about his visit, Obama said: "I also wanted to bring my daughters here so they could see the beauty and the vibrancy of [Buenos Aires].
"They've already met one famous [Argentinian] - His Holiness Pope Francis. Now they want to meet Messi, but I could not arrange that."
Messi is in training with the Argentina team ahead of this weekend's World Cup qualifier in Chile. The team then return to their homeland to host Bolivia.
La Albiceleste are currently off the pace in their qualifying campaign having won just one of their four outings so far.
