Meet Jonathan Calleri, the Messi fan who upstaged Tevez on his Boca return

The 21-year-old Argentine attacker hit the headlines with a remarkable 'rabona' in the 2-1 win over Quilmes and has his sights set on the national team.

BUENOS AIRES -- It was supposed to be all about Carlos Tevez. The 'Apache' was back at Boca Juniors and treated to a hero's welcome at the Bombonera for his much-anticipated return. But instead, it was another man who stole the limelight.

Jonathan Calleri started in attack alongside Sebastian Palacios in the game against Quilmes on Saturday, with Tevez in a slightly deeper role. And after Palacios gave the home side the lead, Calleri tried to set up the homecoming forward for a second in a breakaway attack.
