Lionel Messi has been snapped walking through central London in the wake of his FIFA Awards disappointment.

The Barcelona forward was pictured in the capital on Thursday leaving a restaurant with his former Catalan team-mate Cesc Fabregas, accompanied by their wives.

The Argentine was recovering from Monday night's disappointment which saw him miss out on the FIFA best player of the year award to Cristiano Ronaldo, while Fabregas appeared as a Blues substitute in Wednesday's Carabao Cup win over Everton.
