So a fan rushed the field last night before 2nd half started and got Messi to sign his shirt and hugged him. I see some other video on youtube that shows this happening several times. It seems that this happens often with him, and he seems to be cool with it...

Was anyone at the game? I heard the fan tried to evade security but see no video.

From last night

Happened to Cristiano Ronaldo last week at the Euros.

And at a friendly tourney here in the states a couple years ago. The kid was in college and was facing deportation. cron wrote the judge a letter asking him to be lenient on the kid. At the time, ronaldo earned a lot of repsect from me, but its always one step forward, two back with that dude.

The guy came from the stands on the opposite side of where Messi was standing. The guy jogged across the field, got Messi to sign his jersey and then bowed at his feet. After ALL OF THAT one security guy was very close to him and he took off (end of the video you linked). For some reason while he was running away he took off his shirt, slowed down and let security catch up to him.

Security did a much better job after the game catching about three kids before they could get anywhere near the players.


I went with my wife to one of the Rodeo nights last year at NRG and a lady was able to run up to Brad Paisley, hug him and run back to her seat before security could get close to her

ETA: I actually started videoing around the time the video you linked stops.

It's not that exciting really, but I'll post it whenever I get home.

I thought he was going to surrender after his interaction with Messi. He just kind of stands there for a few moments, then runs away. I only saw a handful of security waddling after him. He could have made it a lot longer. Very surprised at the lack of security.

Here's what I got. Link NSFW Language

If he would have planned an escape route he totally could have gotten away.

Thanks for posting!

I doubt he would have got far after going over field barrier (ad boards). I see lots of pink shirts on the other side.

Apparently he had his twitter handle written on his chest and he had a friend captured it on Periscope.
