Joyous Lionel Messi sends 100-year-old fan a message post Copa America

A screengrab of Lionel Messi’s video call to his 100-year-old fan

The past few days have been a dream come true for Lionel Messi. On Saturday, he helped Argentina claim Copa America honours at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, where Brazil were beaten 1-0 in the final.

Messi's joy of winning the title caused him to make an instant video call to wife Antonela Roccuzzo. Now, it has come to light that he even sent a video message to 100-year-old TikTok star, Don Hernan, an ardent fan of his.

"Hernan, your story reached me. It seems crazy to me that you have been recording my goals and that is why I wanted to send you a big hug and thank you for what you do," Messi says in the message which was shown to Hernan by his grandson Julien Mastrengelo. Spaniard Hernan has followed Messi from the very start of his career.
