The legendary skipper of the national football side of Argentina, Lionel Messi enjoys a humongous fan following across the globe. Alongside having a massive fan following throughout the entire diameter of the footballing world, the 35-year-old legend is considered a god in his own country Argentina by ardent football fans and his fans as well.
The love for Messi also increased among his fans in Argentina after he led the team to a historic title win in the FIFA World Cup 2022. This immense love for Messi was seen recently among Argentine fans when the star winger visited a restaurant in Buenos Aires with his family including his wife and children.
The crowd happened to notice Messi’s presence in the restaurant; they immediately rushed to the spot to see their favorite football superstar. Although Messi was escorted later by the local police officers. But, the seven times Ballon d’Or award winner still appreciated his fans for showering this much love on him.
The video of this incident involving the star PSG winger Lionel Messi is also making rounds on social media within minutes of being shared on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

Apart from this, Messi was also on the receiving end of the angst of PSG fans a few days back when his club lost to Rennes in Ligue 1 by a margin of 0-2. The fans started booing and whistling the PSG team following the conclusion of the match.
But still, the PSG manager Christophe Galtier went on to defend his team and his players; he felt that the team didn’t have too many choices to bring on the field due to the injuries of players.
"You can’t incriminate my players on a lack of commitment. That’s not true. You can understand that when you’re 2-0 down to Rennes, that you don’t have a lot of options and that there are a lot of players missing, that there might be some resignation,” said Galtier after the defeat against Rennes.
