A young Chinese soccer fan gave security the slip to hug his hero Lionel Messi mid-game
A Chinese football fan who stormed the pitch and hugged Lionel Messi during a friendly match between Australia and Argentina in Beijing on Thursday has been placed under “administrative detention,” according to police in the Chinese capital. The fan, who is 18 years old and identified by the police as “Di,” has also been banned from entering sports venues as a spectator for similar games for 12 months.
But even before the fan’s antics, interest in the event had been sky high. Tickets to the match at the 68,000-capacity Workers’ Stadium, which cost up to $4,800 yuan , sold out within 20 minutes, according to Chinese state media Global Times, while touts advertised tickets online for multiple times their face value. Messi and his teammates were temporarily “trapped” in their Beijing hotel at the weekend after large numbers of fans gathered outside, Chinese state media reported.
