Murtaza Ahmadi is proof that dreams do come true.

The 5-year-old went viral after a photo of him wearing a plastic bag fashioned into a Lionel Messi jersey circulated on the Internet. The image eventually made its way to the Barcelona star, who is eager to meet the Afghan boy.

Well, Murtaza has traded the plastic jersey for a full Barca Messi kit. He got to wear it on Tuesday's visit to the pitch with the Afghanistan Football Federation in Kabul, according to AS.com.
