pictured wearing a homemade Argentina shirt.
Six-year-old Murtaza became famous in January
after a picture of him sporting a shirt fashioned
from a plastic carrier bag, with Messi's name and
number on the back, was shared across the world
on social media.
Messi sent signed kits and a football to the
youngster in February and Murtaza has now been
given the chance to meet his idol in person,
according to the organising body for the 2022
World Cup in Qatar.
The Supreme Committee tweeted a series of
images and a video showing Murtaza posing for
pictures with Messi after being introduced to the
Barcelona squad, who are in Al Rayyan for a
friendly match against Al Ahli on Tuesday.
"The image the world wanted to see," the caption
posted along with the video reads. "The six year
old boy who dreamed of meeting his hero, Messi,
finally comes true."
Murtaza is due to walk out onto the pitch with
Messi ahead of the game at at Thani bin Jassim
Stadium.
The image the world wanted to see. The
