'Mini Messi', 5, aims to follow in star's footsteps

Dressed in a tatty makeshift Lionel Messi soccer shirt styled from a plastic bag, a little Afghan fan dreams of becoming a soccer star one day like the Barcelona legend.

Murtaza Ahmadi, 5, can often be seen playing on muddy ground in front of his home in the eastern province of Ghazni.

"My greatest desire is to meet with Messi one day, to learn from him and become a star like him," Murtaza said.
