Lille Player Angel Gomes Couldn't Believe It When Lionel Messi Wanted To Swap Shirts With Him

After the final whistle, Gomes bumped into Lionel Messi in the tunnel. Initially, it looked like Gomes expected the 34-year-old to hand over the number 10 shirt and walk off.

How good was that?

Gomes, who spent 14 years at Manchester United after joining the club aged six, joined Ligue 1 side Lille in August 2020 and was immediately loaned out to Portuguese club Boavista in a bid to pick up valuable first-team experience.

The 21-year-old also earned his first England U21 call-up in October.

"Things come when you deserve them. I achieved good things when I was at Manchester United, which I will remember all my life

“I don’t think it was rushed, but sometimes there’s decisions to be made and you have to know how to get out of your comfort zone.”
