Argentine journalist kisses Messi on the neck — Leo's reaction spotted

Lionel Messi was taken aback when Argentine journalist Migue Granados planted a kiss on his neck.

He clearly didn't expect this to happen.

What on earth was that for, you may ask?

Well, the thing is, Granados also happens to be a well-known comedian, so he used a humorous and somewhat scandalous approach to draw attention to the interview with the world champion.

It was effective, as the video was viewed by at least 11.5 million people.

Though Leo appeared surprised by the kiss, he managed to maintain his calmness, as he typically does.

Luckily for Granados, Messi's bodyguard wasn't around either.
