They besieged a well-known steak restaurant in Buenos Aires on Tuesday night, where Messi was having dinner with some family members and friends, according to TN TV. The fans blocked the street in front of the “Don Julio” restaurant in the Palermo district and sang the song “Muchachos”, which became known as the unofficial anthem of the Argentine national team during the World Cup. In the early morning, police officers finally escorted Messi through the crowd to his car.
Messi had traveled to Argentina with his family the day before and drove directly from the airport to the nearby AFA training ground. There he completed his first training session this year with the national team. The Albiceleste take on Panama in a friendly in Buenos Aires on Thursday. Argentina will play Curaçao in Santiago del Estero next Tuesday.
