In a wonderful gesture, Lionel Messi, the star and captain of the Argentine national team, gifted his shirt to an Indian girl, days after he crowned his country with the FIFA World Cup, which took place in the State of Qatar.

The Argentine national team defeated its French counterpart, the “Roosters”, in the final that was held on Sunday, December 18, 2022 at Lusail Stadium, by penalty kicks, 4-2, after that match ended in a positive draw 3-3, so that Messi puts the third star on the “Tango” shirt. ".

And he - the best player in the world 7 times - sent his shirt with the Argentina national team, which bears number 10, to an Indian girl.

And the Indian "Sportskeeda" website stated that the child is called Ziva, and she is the daughter of the famous cricket player Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

And the girl published a picture of the gift through her official account on "Instagram", where she received great interaction from her followers, and commented on it by saying, "Like a father ... like a daughter."

From the picture, it is clear that Messi wrote on the shirt in Spanish (Para Ziva), which means "for Ziva," and then put his signature on it.
