Murtaza ahmadi- Afghan boy who had plastic bag Messi shirt meets his idol.






A young Afghan boy who became an internet sensation after being photographed in a homemade replica of Lionel Messi’s famous football strip has finally come face-to-face with his idol during a freindly match between FC Barcelona and AL Ahil.
In January this year, pictures emerged of five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi wearing a blue-and-white striped plastic bag to emulate the colours of the Argentinian team. On the back of the bag was scrawled the legend: “Messi 10”.
The pictures went viral and, after Messi’s biggest fan was identified and tracked down to Afghanistan’s eastern Ghazni province, efforts were made to bring Murtaza and the Barcelona star together.
Murtaza and Messi met in Doha and the boy is expected to walk out on to the pitch with Messi on Tuesday night when Barcelona play Al Ahli. this meeting was arranged through the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.
Murtaza met his hero as Barcelona played a friendly in Qatar this week against Al Ahli - and was so happy he refused to leave the pitch when asked.The five-year-old hung around with Messi, who stood smiling and laughing with the little boy. His antics also delighted team-mates Luis Suarez and Neymar, who couldn't stop laughing at the Argentina superstar.
The boy’s unexpected fame has not been entirely welcome. After receiving constant telephone threats, the family was eventually forced to flee to Quetta in neighbouring Pakistan.
Murtaza’s father, Mohammad Arif Ahmadi, said he feared that his son would be kidnapped. The family first travelled to the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, but could not settle there because of the high cost of living. They later moved to Quetta.
“I sold all my belongings and brought my family out of Afghanistan to save my son’s life as well as the lives of the rest of the family,” he said in May.
Despite the upheaval, he added at the time: “Murtaza hopes that one day he would be able to meet his hero, Messi.” 

The day he met his hero - The little lionel lion messi.
