Rodrigo De Paul did this next to Lionel Messi

Rodrigo de Paul shared an unexpected moment with Messi during the "GOAT India Tour 2025." After a successful year with Inter Miami, the Argentine players visited several cities in India , and a video that quickly went viral shows the situation they experienced while several young fans tried to take photos with them.

In the clip, several young Indian players can be seen trying to capture the moment with Messi and Rodrigo de Paul. However, a man, apparently part of the security team , positioned himself in front of them, blocking one of the youngsters who couldn't fit in the frame. Rodrigo quickly stepped in and moved him slightly, showing his intention to include everyone so they could appear in the photo.

A close and human gesture

The video went viral almost immediately, and fans were divided in the comments. Some praised Rodrigo's action , appreciating his attentiveness and connection with the young fans, while others criticized how the situation unfolded, suggesting it could have been handled differently.

Nevertheless, beyond everything else, this scene shows that the players know how to handle unexpected moments with patience and a sense of humor, turning a simple photo opportunity into a special memory for their followers .
