Boy plays prank on Lionel Messi by appearing next to him wearing a Cristiano Ronaldo shirt [Video]

The Argentine from Inter Miami, Lionel Messi, is enjoying a well-deserved vacation after being eliminated in the MLS regular season, which allowed him to travel to France this Monday to receive his eighth Ballon d’Or, but hours before, during an outing family, on the 10th he experienced an uncomfortable situation thanks to a child who apparently had Cristiano Ronaldo as an idol.

Before Messi left for France, he was in Argentina enjoying himself with his family when he went to one of his sons’ games. As soon as he left his house, a mass of people positioned themselves next to him and accompanied him throughout the journey.

However, in the middle of the hubbub, a little boy of about nine years old appeared who had the goal of getting a photo or video with the star, although in the end it ended up going viral for other reasons.

Just upon reaching where Messi was, he smiled at the camera but surprised everyone by taking out an Al-Nassr shirt with Cristiano Ronaldo’s name on the number and showing it in front of the footballer, smiling at all times.

This would not have pleased Messi, who only with the gesture and a look at the child made his opinion clear, although at no time did he run or push the little boy away from his side.

The one who did intervene in the uncomfortable situation was Messi’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, who, as has become customary since his arrival at Inter Miami, is his shadow at all times and he removed the child with his arm to prevent the player from Albiceleste will continue with discomfort.

The video quickly went viral on social media and had divided opinions. Some considered that the boy only wanted to joke with Messi while others criticized that he was kept away from him just because he was a follower of Cristiano Ronaldo.
