And with that Max said his goodbyes to Messi and even got some autographs. Max was thinking about the events that went on that day and realized that he was one of the luckiest kids ever. He was thinking about how this day could change his life forever. That was by far the best day of his life and within a week later, Max's dad let him play soccer. To this day, none of his friends believe his story but he knows it's real and that's all that matters. That is how Max's soccer dream became a reality. 18 years later
