Lionel Messi Snubs Kid's Handshake But Then Tracks Him Down For a Picture

What happens when you're standing inches away from a world-famous international soccer star, try to shake his hand and have him walk right past you? Imagine no further. That awkward moment just happened to a super cute little Messi fan.

After the match between Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina Lionel Messi left one tiny fan, a mascot for the team, sorely disappointed when he walked past him without noticing the hopeful, outstretched little hand.



The look on the little guy's face is so sad; you almost end up hating the footballer. So not fair!

The video of the snubbed handshake made the rounds and Messi was termed a heartbreaker instantly. When asked, Messi denied ignoring his little fan.



What he did next though totally wins our hearts and more than makes up for the incident. He not only tracked the kid down, but also got this super cute picture clicked with him. Well played, we say!
