Murtaza Ahmadi responded five years ago. In 2016, a video spread like wildfire through social media. A five-year-old boy is running after Messi's jersey. That jersey is not cloth again. Lacking money, his older brother cut a plastic bag and made Messi's jersey. There was no tension in the love for Messi. In the same way, this child proudly ran after Messi's jersey.

The search fell, the identity also came out. That child from Afghanistan became famous overnight. That Ahmadi is now living in fear of life. He and his family wanted to leave the country for fear of their lives during the Taliban regime.

Lionel Messi himself was overwhelmed after the video was leaked in 2016. He wanted to call Ahmadi to Barcelona. Messi sent two jerseys and some football gifts through UNICEF Afghanistan after it was not possible due to visa complications.

Later, in December 2016, Barcelona went to Doha to play a friendly match. Ahmadi's dream has been fulfilled there. Al-Ahli took Ahmadi's hand while he was on the field. The picture of Ahmadi hugging Messi even after all the balls were gone made everyone emotional again.

Ahmadi, age now 10 . They fled to Kabul for fear of being attacked by the Taliban in their hometown, but they are not at ease here either. "I am trapped at home and cannot get out for fear of the Taliban," Ahmadi told EFE news agency.

"I want to move from Afghanistan to another safe place," Ahmadi told the news agency. Please save me from this situation. '

The reason for such skepticism about Ahmadis' lives is religious. Although followers of Islam, Ahmadis belong to the Hazara Shia community. The Taliban are looking for people from this community. The family left the village and came to Kabul two months ago out of fear. Then they were also given security. But now they are not getting it.

Murtaza's sister, 22-year-old Mahdia Ahmadi, also worried, "What will happen to us?" In the meantime, we are under threat. Now no police or army is providing security. When someone is knocking on the door, Murtaza thinks it is the Taliban and is running to hide from me or my mother. '

Mahdia said that meeting Messi also became a negative event in their lives. Because, everyone assumed, not only did they meet with Messi, they were also paid a lot of money. After returning from Doha, they received threats and feared abduction of Murtaza.
