Lionel Messi wasn’t going to let one of his fans go home empty-handed ahead of Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Uruguay.
As Argentine players were ushered off the team bus, Messi spotted a security guard forcibly removing an autograph-seeking child from the premises before waving the man down and telling them to return.
Messi’s face lit up when the child approached, as he then posed for a picture and hooked the kid up with an autograph.
