A Lionel Messi fan has travelled to the striker's hometown to show the Argentina international his new tattoo.
Hernan Baigoria had the Barcelona forward's name and squad number inked on his back in the style of a football shirt before tracking the 27-year-old down in Rosario in Argentina.
The World Cup golden ball winner looked surprised when the tattoo was revealed, but posed for a photo and also signed a shirt for the fan.
Baigoria posted a video of him getting the tattoo and meeting his hero on YouTube:
