A selfie to keep under your pillow

VINA DEL MAR: Lionel Messi is used to being sought after by fans, celebrities and even fellow professionals but he was still caught by surprise when Jamaica’s DeShorn Brown asked for a selfie following Argentina’s 1-0 Copa America win.

Argentina won Group B with Saturday’s victory, their second at the tournament in Chile, and were waiting on Sunday to find out who they would face in the last eight after the final round of Group C matches.

Striker Brown, who had been substituted near the end of the match at Vina del Mar, picked up his mobile phone as soon as the final whistle went and ran onto the pitch to find Messi. “I had thought about it before the match so that’s why I took (the phone) to the bench. As soon as (the match) finished ... I took the picture,” Brown said.

“Messi is the best in the world, a star, and that’s a photo I’ll have as a souvenir all my life.” – Reuters T Iqbal c Dhawan b Kulkarni......13 S.
