Fans found out Messi went out to eat at a restaurant in Argentina

After a training session with the rest of the Argentinian team on Monday, football star Lionel Messi went to dinner with his family at a restaurant in Buenos Aires.

When word got out that the player was out eating, fans decided to flood the streets outside of Don Julio trying to glimpse and catch a snapshot of the sport star.Messi was unable to leave the restaurant until 0145hrs when the police arrived to escort him out of the area. The authorities cleared the narrowest possible path for Messi to get to his car as fans swarmed around them.

Commenters on the footage were not very positive of the reaction by the football fans. Many called it disturbing and terrifying, asking for fans to let the player live a normal life.

This comes as Messi will play his first game with Argentina since the World Cup on Thursday night.
