"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Murtaza Ahmadi, the five-year old Afghan boy who went viral on the internet for wearing a homemade soccer jersey made out of plastic bag, has received a real jersey from FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi, UNICEF announced.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In January, Ahmadi was photographed wearing a white bag with blue stripes for a makeshift Messi jersey. Social media lit up in a search to find the child. Once Ahmadi's&amp;nbsp;identity was revealed, the Afghanistan Football Federation reached out to Messi to set up a meeting with his fan.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI love Messi and football. I will meet him one day,\u201D Ahmadi said at the time. \u201CI want to become like [Messi].\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[tweet:&amp;nbsp;https://twitter.com/OASFCU/status/694169143243849728]\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[tweet:&amp;nbsp;https://twitter.com/UNICEFAfg/status/702738685897383937]\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The package sent to Ahmadi&amp;nbsp;included an autographed Barcelona jersey and an Argentina national team jersey in addition to a signed soccer ball.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ahmadi is just the latest young fan that&amp;nbsp;Messi&amp;nbsp;has found a way to connect with.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
