Lionel Messi is a figure who generates devotion and fanaticism around the world. Whether in Barcelona, since his arrival at PSG in Paris or in any other city, La Pulga fans cannot contain their love for one of the best players in football history.

As is often the case in every place he visits with the Argentine national team, on his arrival in Guayaquil to face Ecuador on the last date of the qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup, many were the signs of affection that the rosarino star received. But there was a situation that generated Messi's anger at Monumental Stadium after the 1-1 draw against the locals.

Minutes after the referee Raphael Claus ended the match, a Tri fan got into the field after sweeping security and reached the place where the captain of Argentina was standing. “Messi, Messi, Messi, a photo, a photo,” says the fan in the video that Jossue Garzon uploaded to his social networks, at the same time he almost took Leo by the neck.

This way of asking for a selfie made the number 10 of the Albiceleste uncomfortable, which is heard as he answers in the final part of the images. “Stop, stop, stop,” Messi replied.

Beyond the publication that the Ecuadorian fan uploaded, which has the photo he managed to take with the rosarino star and the video in which he first sees the bullfight until he reached the place where the Argentine footballer was, he also wrote a few words after achieving his mission in which he showed his passion for La Pulga.

“You only live once and once is enough for me because I met the best player in history. My dear Leo Messi, thank you for so many moments of happiness that you have given me over the years with your beautiful football. I love you and this beautiful sport,” said Garzon.

After equalizing against Gustavo Alfaro's team as a visitor, the team led by Lionel Scaloni finished second in the Qatar World Cup qualifier with 38 points waiting for what will be the suspended match against Brazil. It should be remembered that he had already secured his ticket to the World Cup four dates before the end of the Qualifiers and after winning the Copa América 2021 after defeating Verdeamarela in the final that was played in the legendary Maracaná.

For his part, Messi is going through a special moment with the selected one. A few months after playing what will be his fifth World Cup, the captain of Albiceleste is the top star of a team that is solid and that managed to match the record of undefeated matches that Alfio Basile led between 1991-1993 with 31 games without losing.

Now, all that remains is to wait for the draw that will take place this Friday, April 1 in Doha to find out who will be the rivals of the group stage that will once again put Messi at the center of the world football scene.
