Five Year Old Boy Who Created Lionel Messi Shirt From Plastic Bag

The image of the boy in his homemade “Messi 10” jersey had gone viral, and sparked a search for the young football fan. This boy who has become known as “Messi’s biggest fan” is actually five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi from a rural area in Afghanistan.



Also, Lionel Messi has provided the finishing touch to a fairly unique tribute to his talents, offering his signature to be permanently added to a back tattoo of his image.

One fan waited to meet his idol at an icons signing in Barcelona, before revealing the extreme lengths he was going to for a unique piece of Messi memorabilia.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was happy to oblige, signing the supporter’s back with a marker for him to later have made permanent at a tattoo parlour.

The meeting between Lionel Messi and one of his biggest fans came about in a hotel reception where the signings for Icons’ Official Signed Messi Merchandise range was taking place.
