Slovenian fans spotted holding up Messi jersey before the game against Portugal

The European Cup round of 16 match between Portugal and Slovenia is about to begin, and one fan in the stands has caught everyone's attention.

From the flag painted on his face, it is clear that he supports Slovenia, but his way of showing support is somewhat unusual – he is holding a Messi Argentina national team jersey.

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, is starting in this match, and it is well known that Messi has been his long-time rival throughout most of his career. Clearly, this fan is trying to distract Ronaldo by using this tactic.
