He told local media he lives close to the store and travelled there because he has no connection in his local area.

Carlos admitted: "It's a very big screen, it's like being in the stadium."

A tweet of him sitting in the street went viral in Argentina, and was retweeted more than 5,000 times, and he became a national star.

As a result, company Fravega gifted Carlos a 55-inch TV so he could watch the final against France from the comfort of his own home.

The shop is located close to Argentina's capital Buenos Aires.
