A meeting of two stars in Qatar... soccer legend Lionel Messi making the lifelong dream of young Murtaza Ahmadi come true.

Ahmadi is the Afghan boy who became an overnight internet sensation for wearing a plastic bag shirt his dad made for him to look like one of Messi's Argentina jerseys.

An official Messi jersey was simply too expensive....although the makeshift version was good enough for Murtaza.

But still, he wanted to meet his hero.....so the Afghan Football Federation began making inquiries to see if a meeting could be arranged.

That promise was kept... and sporting a pristine number 10 Barcelona Jersey as Barcelona visited Qatar for a friendly, Ahmadi finally got to meet his hero.
