Watch: Argentina's Lionel Messi ignores super cute kid's handshake

The setting: Teams gathering in the tunnel before Argentina vs Bosnia-Herzegovina. The victim: a cute kid in an over-sized kit. The culprit: Lionel Messi - four time world player of the year.And the plot: Messi walks into the frame to join his team, the kid puts his hand in the hope of Messi shaking it, Messi looks down and sees the kid, then looks up — ignoring his hand which stays outstretched for an agonizing two-three seconds before the kid takes it back.[caption id="attachment_1575403" align="alignleft" width="380"] Screengrab from the YouTube video.[/caption]That's not an imaginary script, it's what actually happened, as you can see in the video below.It's brilliant fodder for Cristiano Ronaldo fans, who believe that the Portuguese star's treatment of fans is much better than Messi's.The Argentine may be the better (or worse) player of the two, but when Ronaldo hugs fans who break stadium barriers and writes letters to judges in the United States to spare them a charge — and when you see Messi do this, the scales certainly tip in favour of CR7.In Messi's defence though, he explained why he ignored the handshake: "I went through without seeing him, I don´t know what I was thinking about," he said.
