The moving moment in which Lionel Messi fulfilled the dream of the Brazilian fan who has him tattooed on his back

Neither the coronavirus pandemic nor the jealous and necessary protocols prevented one of the most anticipated matches of the Copa América: that of Lionel Messi and the Brazilian fan who showed a huge tattoo of his on his back.

The sequence was like this: the young man broke into the previous broadcast of Argentina-Uruguay in TyC Sports and he exhibited his tatoo, made in Porto Alegre: the image of the Flea, with the Barcelona shirt in his hands, in that mythical celebration against Real Madrid. So shocking and vivid is the engraving that it surprised the protagonist. Messi himself commented on the channel’s post. Terrible tattoo. I loved it, I would love to sign him “wrote the forward.

As well, The story closed this afternoon, moments before the National Team bus transferred the delegation to the Mané Garrincha stadium to reconnoitre the terrain.. Messi, the last to leave the hotel, saw that the young man was, on his back and already stripped of his shirt, next to the fence. At his side was the journalist Matías Pellicioni, from T&C, ready to help you fulfill your dream and record the moment of the meeting.

The Rosario responded to the shouts and, despite the recommendation of security, broke the line and walked to the side to meet his fan. He took a pen and stamped his signature on the back, next to the tattoo. Then he greeted him with a fist bump, before diving into the vehicle.

“Thank you, Leo, thank you”, was heard at the moment of the meeting, both by the fan and the journalist who created the face to face. Or, in this case, chinstrap to chinstrap.

“Speechless, I am very excited.”said the fan after the magic moment. Pellicioni revealed that Messi knew that the young man was waiting for him. And without neglecting himself in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, he kept his word and the desire of his admirer.

The fan, who has already warned that he prefers Argentina to win the Copa América before Brazil, wished him happy Father’s Day. La Pulga smiled, beyond the mask that did not allow the gesture to be noticed. How does the story continue? The young man warned that he will wait without a shirt until tomorrow. And that he will not bathe either. Why? You have planned a new visit to the tattoo artist, so that the signature is sealed with indelible ink, eternal, beyond that the moment will never be erased from your mind. And from his heart.
