Man wears plastic bag to get Messi's attention

A man became an internet sensation after wearing a plastic bag as a Lionel Messi shirt.

Obviously, the man was pretending to be poor in order to get special attention from Messi following the story Afghan Boy who became an online hit in early 2016 not long after his father declined to buy him his own blue-and-white striped jersey, just like the one that Messi wears on Argentina’s national team.

The five-year-old, later met Lionel Messi after being pictured wearing a plastic bag with ‘Messi 10’ scrawled on it.

However, we’re not sure of this old man case. We simply believe that social media has given more people than ever before a public mouthpiece to voice their ideas and opinions – for better or for worse.
