With the help of his teacher, the boy was able to write the 600 ethics (corresponding to the same number of stickers) in Braille and experience the madness of collecting the stickers, while his joy at finding the sticker of his beloved Lionel Messi could not be described.


The top international media have praised Sebastian for his initiative, but the 12-year-old has been trying to watch as many matches as he can since the World Cup started.




And he does this with the help of his father, who has built a special board on which he has drawn a football pitch with the players' positions in relief (in Braille) so that he can use his hand movements to help him understand what is happening on the pitch.

And Sebastian went viral again when, wearing a Messi jersey, he watched the decisive Argentine match through his father's eyes, wildly celebrating Pulga's goal.

"This is how I experienced Messi's goal against Mexico. Thank you Leo Messi you made us live these special moments. You are the best," he wrote on his Instagram profile which was flooded with messages. And some of them really showcase the greatness of football and sport

"As a Mexican, the only thing that makes me happy for this Argentina victory is to see you happy my Sebastian. Seeing you happy, celebrating gives me life," wrote one Mexican fan, while another compatriot said:[BRP]"I am Mexican, the defeat hurt me, but what a joy to see you happy."
