Lionel Messi seems to have relaxed his rules around swapping shirts since trading Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain.

It used to be a rare sight to see Messi swap shirts with an opponent after a match, but the Argentine legend has done so a few times of late.

Opposition players used to be reluctant to ask Messi for his jersey following the final whistle, due to his reputation as being picky.

The 34-year-old has previously hinted in an interview with Argentine TV that he only wants to collect shirts of his compatriots .

“I don't ask for shirts, I usually swap them, but I asked Zidane once,” Messi told Argentine channel TyC Sports.

“If there is an Argentine I swap it with him, but, unless someone asks me, I'm not asking anyone.”

That approach has seen him build up a shirt collection which includes Argentine players Angel Di Maria, Sergio Aguero, Manuel Lanzini and Diego Milito.

He has made exceptions for the likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Philipp Lahm and Francesco Totti, but there are not many match-worn Messi shirts out there from swaps.

However, his stance appears to be softening lately, with Falaye Sacko the latest lucky player to get a PSG shirt with ‘Messi 30’ on the back after a Ligue 1 game.

Former Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes was shocked to get Messi’s shirt earlier in February after playing for Lille against PSG.
