Messi receives crazy welcome as he comes back to boyhood club for one special occasion

Leo Messi has received a crazy welcome from Newell's Old Boys' fans after coming back for the first time in a while.

The supporters came up with a magnificent fire show and some really vocal chants about their idol.

Messi has arrived in Rosario for the farewell match of former Argentina international Maxi Rodriguez.

By the way, Leo scored a free-kick goal in this tribute game.

Messi was part of the Newell's Old Boys academy as a kid from 1995 to 2000. In 2000, he joined La Masia as a 13-year-old.
