A BRAVE pitch invader managed to meet idol Lionel Messi... and then kissed his magic left foot.
The Barcelona legend helped his side to a 1-0 victory in their Champions League group match at Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday. Messi played his part in the only goal of the game after his free-kick was turned into his own net by ex-Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates.
And one super fan in the stand also had a night to remember when he got to share a few words with the Argentine ace.
Breaking through security, the young supporter sprinted over to Messi where the two embraced like long lost friends.
Messi then had his hand at the back of the invader's head as the duo had a conversation.
As security made their way onto the field, the youngster bowed down to Messi and kissed his left boot.
The Barca hero could only smile as the pitch invader was carried off the field. Messi is used to adorning fans hoping to meet the man himself.
Just last month the 30-year-old defied strict security as he arrived at a hotel in Uruguay to make one child's dream come true.
As the Barcelona and Argentina superstar was ushered into a hotel ahead of his country's World Cup Qualifier against Uruguay, a little boy tried to get close to his hero.
Security held him back but after seeing the boy burst into tears, Messi told security to let him through.
