Lionel Messi Bombarded By Argentina Followers At Dinner In Buenos Aires

Hundreds of Argentina fans flooded the streets of Buenos Aires just to get a glimpse of their hero, Lionel Messi, out at dinner Monday night … and the scene was absolute insanity!!

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar is back in his home country ahead of an international friendly against Panama later this week … and once word spread he was with his family at the Don Julio restaurant in Palermo, he was met with a massive crowd of crazed fanatics.

Videos show Messi needing a police escort just to make it out of the establishment shortly before 2 AM … with folks screaming, reaching out and grabbing, and trying to take pictures with the footballer.

Despite the overwhelming amount of people, Messi appeared to take it pretty well … smiling as he made his way through the sea of fans.

Of course, Messi was already beloved in Argentina … but once he won the World Cup in December, his supporters’ passion was multiplied by a billion.

Leo might be numb to all the love at this point — after all, he also faced millions of backers who showed up to their World Cup parade.
