He ended up going viral, and Messi himself attempted to meet up with the five-year-old. While this didn’t up happening, Messi has done one better: he’s given Murtaza a real jersey, which is signed and everything.

“Murtaza couldn’t stop smiling. He kept repeating: I love Messi,” said UNICEF Afghanistan spokesperson Denise Shepherd-Johnson.
Messi autographed the jersey, and wrote “with much love” in Spanish on it.
