Lionel Messi’s popularity in his native country Argentina is shown in this heartwarming video. Messi is not someone who seeks attention but the world’s best player was honoured in a unique way when he went to a local theatre in Buenos Aires.
When Messi was watching and enjoying the play, the star man of the play Nicolas Vasquez called the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner on to the stage and honoured him in his own unique way.
Nicolas Vasquez is a Martin Fierro Award nominated Argentine actor and singer. He is best known for his roles in the television series Verano del’98, Alma Pirata and Casi Angels. Messi was called on to the satge by Vasquez and the whole crowd bowed down to the Argentine maestro.
The actor even took to his official twitter account to post a video about the incident. Messi's fame can be seen by the fact that even celebrities in Argentina behave like awestruck fans in the presence of the greatest player in the world.
The video shows Lionel Messi being slightly embarrassed by all the attention. Messi is not someone who seeks attention and the actions of the crowd really took the Barcelona star by surprise.
Messi had gone to Argentina for the World Cup qualifiers and the Argentine fans will be hoping that the little master replicates his stunning club form for the national team.
