Argentinian football star Lionel Messi downplayed an incident in which a fan tried to hit him in the face.
In Messi's hometown of Rosario, a hooded youth ran up to Messi but was unable to injure him. The press, which paid great attention to the incident, speculates that it was a fan of the "Rosario Central" club, remembering that Messi took his first steps on the field against bitter rival "Newells Old Boys."
"I didn't feel anything, so he didn't even touch me," Messi said. "Everything is fine, nothing happened."
On June 8, the forward will join the Argentine national team, which is preparing for the "Copa America" tournament.
