Signed Lionel Messi shirt makes Afghan child's dreams come true
(CNN)The youngster pictured wearing a striped plastic bag with Lionel Messi's name and number on it is now the proud owner of a real Messi shirt -- thanks to the soccer superstar and the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF).
Murtaza Ahmadi -- found in Afghanistan earlier this month after his picture became an internet sensation -- was given two autographed shirts and a signed football from the iconic player by UNICEF workers, his father Arif Ahmadi told CNN.
Arif said it was "one of the happiest moments" of the five-year-old's life.
His son's only regret, he said, was that Messi -- who scored twice for Barcelona as they beat Arsenal in the Champions League in London on Tuesday -- was not able to have been there.
But Arif said Murtaza, unfazed by that, had been wearing one of the shirts and playing with the football ever since the gifts arrived.
"I love Messi, and my shirt says Messi loves me," UNICEF quoted Murtaza as saying.
Leo Messi has been nominated for the Sportsman of the Year Award for the fifth time. The Ballon d’Or winner will be running against athlete Usain Bolt, basketball player Stephen Curry, tennis player Novak Djokovic, race car driver Lewis Hamilton, and golfer Jordan Spieth.
