In 2016, a touching photo of a young Afghan boy wearing a homemade Lionel Messi jersey—crafted from a blue-and-white striped plastic bag—went viral around the world. The image moved millions, including Messi himself. Deeply touched by the boy’s admiration and creativity, Messi arranged to send the child, Murtaza Ahmadi, a real Argentina jersey, personally signed by him. The gesture captured the world’s attention and showcased the football legend’s compassion off the field. It was more than just a gift—it was a powerful reminder of the global reach of sport, the bond between athletes and fans, and how a simple act of kindness can turn hope into reality.
