"Murtaza couldn't stop smiling. He kept repeating: I love Messi," UNICEF Afghanistan spokesman De
nise Shepherd-Johnson said.
Messi autographed the jerseys, writing "with much love" in Spanish on them, and added a football to the treasure trove, UNICEF said.
Purchasing a Messi jersey was beyond the means of Murtaza's poor family, members of the persecuted ethnic Hazara minority living in volatile Ghazni, near Kabul.
