Argentina captain Lionel Messi averted a major accident during a celebration along with his teammates on the streets of Buenos Aires.
As per reports, fans in huge numbers gathered on the streets to congratulate the players. An open-top bus was organised for a parade. While Messi was getting on the bus, a cable wire nearly knocked him down. However, it was a close shave for Messi and Co as they ducked at the right moment to avert the accident.
Crazy fans even tried to jump onto the bus in order to get close to the stars during the parade. Things went out of hand and soon a helicopter had to be called to airlift the players safely.
