Khvicha: “Meeting Messi was history for me me, maybe you would not believe me if I told you the story. Messi changed completely for me after that as a person. Of course I knew him as a player and it’s very hard to find a player like him in the whole history of football.

“Well, we were sitting at gala during the one of the pauses of the ceremony. He was sitting on the right side from me. Leo suddenly stood up and I didn't have an idea why he stood up and where he was going as we were warned to stay seated during the pauses.

“He walked directly towards me, I didn't know what was happening and suddenly he gave me a hand to shake. I got so confused, I stood up instantly and shook his hand. After this, he greeted me and walked back to his seat. After this I don't know he got my huge respect, player like him to stand up to say hello to, it was crazy. He is an amazing person and I respect and appreciate him a lot.”
