Caracas, Venezuela.
The desire to meet their idols leads many football fans to commit all sorts of madness. And this is the case of a small boy who did not hesitate to invade the field to embrace Lionel Messi.
Little fan Yeison Ibarra, dressed in the PSG jersey with the number 30 Messi, mocked the security of the Olympic Stadium of the Central University of Venezuela, got on the field and hit a monumental run for go directly to where the Argentine star was.
The fact occurred at the end of the match that Argentina won (1-3). The boy ventured to jump the fence that separates the stands from the playing field to meet Messi.
Messi seeing what happened, made a space to facilitate the arrival and give him a nice hug that will surely never forget the child for the rest of his life.
The boy managed to quickly return to his place in the stands and began to cry as could be seen by videos broadcast by those present at the sports venue.
The Trans-Andean crack has not stepped on Venezuelan soil since 2011 for the South American qualifiers heading to Brazil 2014, so his visit to Caracas caused a total furor over being one of the great idols of world football.
Messi sealed a good match in his visit to Venezuela, assisting in the goal that opened the scoring, courtesy of Lautaro Martinez, and is now preparing for the stellar duel of this triple playoff against Brazil in the reissue of the Copa America final.
