Social media users have commended football legend Lionel Messi after he was seen stopping to greet fans in traffic.
The video of the incident has since gone viral.
The footage which surfaced online captures the Argentine superstar in a rare moment of down-to-earth humility as he parks his car and takes time to engage with his fans.
In the video, Messi is seen by a group of fans while he was in traffic. Instead of ignoring the crowd, the football icon responded graciously, waving from his vehicle to greet and converse with them.
Netizens Reactions:

Messi asks them If they are here for the tournament and in what age group their son plays in, which they respond “14”, and he responds “my son (Thiago) plays for the U12 age bracket”. Then they tell him they are huge fans.of his. Couple more words here and there but that is the summary of the conversation.”
