Qatar's Almoez Ali has made many fans after his excellent performance at the AFC Asian Cup 2019. And it looks like FC Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi is one among them.

Messi has acknowledged the great achievements of Qatar’s Golden Boot winner Almoez Ali by sending him a heartfelt gift all the way from Spain, reported Foxsports Asia.

The special gift is the iconic Blaugrana home shirt featuring Almoez’s name and his number 19, but the USP is the autograph from the man himself — Messi! The signed shirt was presented to Almoez during a show on BeIN Sport by presenter Ayman Jada.

It's worth mentioning that the 23-year-old forward won the Golden Boot after he broke a 23-year-old Asian Cup goal-scoring record with nine goals in the tournament, one more than Ali Daei who also scored eight for Iran in 1996.
