Watch: Revanth Reddy’s clumsy moments with Messi go viral on social media across globe

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s awkward football moments with Lionel Messi have gone viral globally, after popular content creator Matty Farias shared humorous reels highlighting missed passes, a courtesy penalty goal and light-hearted family moments during the interaction.

Hyderabad: The football fan in Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy might still be on cloud nine. Where else can he be, especially after he got to pass the ball, albeit quite clumsily even after weeks of training, score a tailor made penalty goal without a penalty, get his grandson and nephews pose for photos with Lionel Messi, and all this at the expense of the people of Telangana.

But the Messi chapter is yet to end. Revanth Reddy has made himself the butt of jokes among football enthusiasts not just in Hyderabad or India, but on the international level with videos by Matty Farias, a popular football content maker with over 4 lakh followers on Instagram alone, picking on Revanth Reddy’s clumsy moments with Messi the other day.

Though Farias got one thing wrong, that of stating that the toddler with Revanth Reddy was his son, while it was actually his grandson, the rest of his videos, which have garnered over 7 lakh views on Instagram, focus on how Revanth Reddy messed up in front of Messi with pass blunders and also how he “redeems” himself with a penalty goal, though an easy one, with Messi applauding the same, obviously out of courtesy.

The reels, two of them on Revanth Reddy, shows the Chief Minister being unable to pass the ball straight to Messi, making the GOAT chase the ball, and also how his grandson manages to do better than the grandfather by getting the pass right though he inadvertently touches the ball with his hand, all of this laced with humour and memes.

Here are the reels. Watch for a laugh or two!
