The story · English

Or Blorian, who left Hapoel Beersheba about a month ago for his new MLS club, Sporting Kansas City, got a dream meeting with Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul while Argentina trained in Kansas City during the World Cup.

Blorian posted video of the encounter on Tuesday evening. The article says the three are expected to meet again later this season, when Sporting Kansas City faces Inter Miami, where Messi and De Paul play.

Blorian was not the only Beersheba-connected figure to meet Messi. After Argentina’s match against Austria, in which Messi scored twice, former Hapoel Beersheba symbol Maor Melikson also received a handshake from him.

The game also drew Hapoel Beersheba fans, who waved an Israeli flag combined with the flag of the reigning Israeli champion, Hapoel Beersheba.
