It's an adorable yet heartbreaking photo: A little sports fan wearing a tattered, striped plastic bag as a football jersey, with his idol's name scrawled across it in a marker pen.
Five-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi has fast become an internet sensation after he was photographed in the handmade sports shirt to look like FC Barcelona player Lionel Messi.
The little boy's photos went viral after they appeared on Turkish football fan blogs. In true internet style, a global search for the little boy was soon underway.
He was eventually found living in a remote village in a Taliban-controlled area of Afghanistan, south-west of Kabul.
And now, little Murtaza's dream of meeting his idol face-to-face may indeed come true.
