Alexis Mac Allister shared his memories of the first meeting with Lionel Messi.

I was very nervous, my hands were trembling. I`m a shy guy, so yes, I was really nervous.

But then I realized how humble he was. I was playing for Boca Juniors at the time and we came from Argentina to [play] a friendly match, I think in Spain. We arrived and he was having dinner.

With trembling hands, I went up to the table and said hello. I started to sweat. But it was an amazing moment. Like I said, he`s my idol. He is the best football player in the world. So it`s fantastic to meet and play with him, ` the Brighton and Argentina midfielder told B/R Football.
