Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi earned praise from numerous social media users as he graciously picked up a jersey thrown at him for a fan’s autograph.
In a video garnering over 100k likes, the footballer could be seen in his stylish car, en route to an undisclosed destination.
While at it, he was stopped in the middle of the road by excited fans.
