Messi surprises ex-Man Utd player with shirt swap request after match
Lille midfielder Angel Gomes was
given a delightful surprise at the end
of his side's defeat to Paris Saint-
Germain on Sunday.
Despite the Ligue 1 champions being
thumped 5-1 by the current leaders,
the 21-year-old was shocked to find
Argentina legend Lionel Messi asking
to swap shirts with him.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner
had been one of the stars of the game
, scoring a delightful chip after setting
up Presnel Kimpembe's goal.
While the Lille and PSG players were
walking back to their dressing rooms,
Messi stopped Gomes and asked him
to swap shirts.
The former Manchester United youth
player shook hands with the icon and
they hugged before going their
separate ways.
PSG took the lead at Lille after just
10 minutes through Danilo Pereira,
but Sven Botman got on the end of
a pass from Hatem Ben Arfa to knock
home the equaliser.
Kimpembe restored the visitors' lead
four minutes later with the help of
Messi, who fired in a goal of his own
shortly afterwards.
Danilo grabbed his second of the
game early in the second half, before
Kylian Mbappe rounded off the scoring
after 67 minutes.
