Lionel Messi Met Gheorghe Muresan at the Wizards Game, That Is All

Is this picture of Gheorghe Mureșan meeting Lionel Messi during Wednesday night’s Washington Wizards game the best photo ever taken? Probably not. But it’s still pretty great, if we’re judging by Internet standards in the last 24 hours. I liked it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mureșan checks in at 7-foot-7, while Messi is 5-foot-7. Do the math and that’s a two-foot difference. Whoa. We really need both of these guy to stand next to Yao Ming for a photo, don’t we?

Messi and the rest of the Argentina National Team are in the DC area to play a friendly with El Salvador this week. Here’s an old This Is SportsCenter commercial from the glory day of the 90s featuring the tall Romanian:
