Messi was so sad that he did not play in his team's next big game.

Before the game, the players and fans were quiet for one minute, and Jorge's name was shown on the big screens to remember him.

Players wore black armbands, and fans cheered for Messi, holding up a sign that said 'Fuerza Leo,' which means 'Stay strong, Leo.'
