Barcelona's Lionel Messi Responds to Monchengladbach in Facebook Post for 'Get Well Soon' Message
Borussia Monchengladbach could have been forgiven for dancing in the streets after the news that Lionel Messi would miss three weeks' worth of football through injury.
After all, the Bundesliga side take on Messi's Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, and need all the help they can take in achieving an unlikely victory.
However, the German club opted for a classier approach after the news that the 28-year-old star would sit out the encounter with a groin injury.

The Argentine picked up the strain in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.
And Monchengladbach officials took to the club's official twitter account to express their sadness over not getting the opportunity to see the world class forward in the flesh:
The tweet reads: “What a pity! We would love to have you on Wednesday with the FC Barcelona seen here in the BORUSSIA-PARK. Get well, Lionel Messi! [HASHTAG]#UCL[/HASHTAG] #BMGFCB”

.@borussia great team!
And Messi returned the favour in kind after he took to his own Facebook page to thank Monchengladbach for their well wishes:
Monchengladbach already had previous for their goodwill gestures after handing out 1500 doctor's notes to their fans after their Champions League match against Manchester City was postponed for 24 hours, and this goes to prove that the German outfit are one of the more classier clubs around at the moment.
Muchas gracias al Borussia Mönchengladbach por el mensaje de ánimo! Un gran detalle de su parte. Y por supuesto también quiero agradecer a toda la gente que me hizo llegar su aliento. Tengo que parar unos días para poder volver aún más fuerte. Un abrazo a todos.
Many thanks to Borussia Mönchengladbach for their message of support! A really nice gesture from the club. Of course I would also like to thank everyone who has sent me their best wishes. I now have to rest for a few days before coming back even stronger. Hugs to everyone.
