塑料袋男孩收到梅西亲笔签名球衣 梦想成真

AS IT IS 2016-02-27 'Little Messi' Gets Autographed Jersey¹ 塑料袋男孩收到梅西亲笔签名球衣 梦想成真

Earlier in February, a young boy in Afghanistan made international headlines showing his homemade Lionel Messi soccer jersey.

Messi is a soccer player from Argentina who plays for the Barcelona professional team in Spain.

Murtaza Ahmadi, who is five years old, drew Messi’s number, 10, on a blue-and-white striped shopping bag.

Argentina’s national team jersey has blue-and-white stripes like the shopping bag.

On February 25th, Messi sent the boy a real jersey with his autograph.

It said “with much love,” in Spanish.

The United Nations Children’s Fund delivered the jersey. Messi also sent a Barcelona team jersey.

Many people say Messi is the best player in the world. That is why even a boy in Afghanistan -- who cannot afford to buy a jersey -- knows of Messi.

People called the boy “little Messi” after pictures of his jersey spread.

The boy’s father told CNN getting the jerseys² was one of the happiest moments of his son’s life. 

The soccer federation³ in Afghanistan says it is still working to find a way for “big” Messi to meet “little Messi.”
