Quite a special episode took place after the World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Ecuador on Wednesday.
After the game, an Ecuador fan ran out onto the pitch to take a photo with Leo Messi.
The supporter was running really fast, shouting ‘Messi! Messi!’, and seems like the Argentine didn’t quite like it. As soon as the security guard approached the fan, Leo told the stadium worker ‘veni! Veni!’ (‘Fast! Fast!’).
Como ecuatoriano mis sinceras disculpas para el astro #Messi que tuvo que pasar por la mala experiencia de toparse con un cretino irrespetuoso, se que es un sujeto amable, pero juro que hasta a mí me dieron ganas de patearle el hocico al tarado, mil disculpas de parte de Ecuador pic.twitter.com/UZvQfqk6Cb

Some fans, however, believe that Messi said those words to the young man, so that the latter would quickly take a pic with Leo and run away before he’s caught. Messi’s worried look doesn’t say so, though.
Argentina only got a point against Ecuador (1-1) away from home.
