Lionel Messi has been a favorite of the Argentinians for many years, but this was especially pronounced after the World Cup in Qatar where Leo led the "Gauchos" to the title they had been waiting for since the time of Maradona.

Like most of the football players, Messi returned to his homeland because of the international break and the two friendly matches that follow Argentina.

Messi wanted to use the time in his homeland to go to the Don Julio restaurant for dinner, but when you are Messi you can't go to a "normal" dinner, especially not in Buenos Aires.

Leo tried to be inconspicuous and go out like a "normal" person, but that was short lived, soon after he entered the restaurant, a huge number of people gathered outside, so he had to be escorted out by the police.
