Watch: Lionel Messi greet his 100-year-old superfan after Copa America win in adorable video

The star footballer has sent a video message for a 100-year-old viral TikTok star, who is an ardent fan of Messi. Don Hernan, a Spanish grandfather, has gained popularity on TikTok in recent weeks.

The past few days have been a dream come true for Lionel Messi. On Sunday (July 11), Messi lifted the Copa America Cup with Argentina at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Argentina beat Brazil in the final with Angel di Maria scoring the only goal in the 22nd minute, which would also become the final score line. Messi’s joy at winning the Copa America was clear to see when he made a video call to his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and showed the medal with joy on his face. Now, the star footballer has sent a video message for a 100-year-old viral TikTok star, who is an ardent fan of Messi. Don Hernan, a Spanish grandfather, has gained popularity on TikTok in recent weeks. Hernan has followed Messi from the very beginning of his career. He has recorded, by hand, with a pencil in his notebook, every single goal Messi has scored since starting his career. Hernan writes down every goal Messi scores and calls his grandson Julián Mastrángelo if he misses out on watching a match to make sure he doesn’t miss any of Messi’s goals.
