Lionel Messi’s team is reportedly searching for a little Messi fan who made an Argentina football shirt with Messi’s name and shirt number out of a plastic bag. The photo of the Barca star fan went viral after it was shared on the social media  page of Turkish sports website Fanatik last week with the caption “Tremendous image. A child in Iraq manages to play in his idol’s T-shirt. The Beautiful Game.”

Another Twitter user (messi10stats) who retweeted the post tweeted this week. “We got DM from Leo’s team. They want to know who this kid is so that Leo can arrange something for him. RT and spread.”


🙂 How kind! My fear is, won’t so many kids claim to be this particular kid?
