Remember the name Murtaza Ahmadi? He was that little boy from Afghanistan who made a Lionel Messi Argentina jersey out of a plastic bag, and it went viral.

Well guess what? He finally met his idol. Barcelona was playing a friendly in Qatar on Tuesday against Al Ahli, and Murtaza was able to make the trip to meet the Argentine star. Take a look.

But that wasn't all. He got to walk out onto the field holding Messi's hand. No joke.

Awesome. What a feeling that must be for that little boy to meet his superstar. And props to Messi for taking the time to meet the kid. We saw that Messi sent him a Barcelona jersey a few months back, but nothing compares to this day for little Murtaza.
