A Mexican woman lunged for soccer player Lionel Messi at the entrance of the team hotel in downtown Chicago.
When the Argentina captain was getting off the team bus outside the hotel, he was suddenly accosted by Norma Briseño, a Mexican immigrant from Guadalajara, who managed to break the security cordon.
"I didn't want to hurt him, although I scratched his arm when police intervened" she told the reporters.
