Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi has formed an Oasis tribute band and is all set to take them on a secret European tour. he Argentine World Player Of The Year has revealed he performs as guitarist Noel Gallagher.

The 23-year-old said he has also recruited a Barcelona teammate to play singer Liam - but won't say who it is yet.

"Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-90s. We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted," the Sun quoted Messi as saying.

"I also spent a lot of time getting the mannerisms right.

He said the band will tour soon - and said he's invited Noel to see them play.

"We'll visit the UK. If you're at a pub or club where we are performing and see past our disguises there'll be a decent prize in it for you," Messi added. (ANI)
