Lionel Messi: PSG star showed his class when Elche goalkeeper asked to swap shirts

Former Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes was left star-struck on Sunday night after bagging Lionel Messi’s shirt.

But it seems he didn’t expect the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner to ask for his jersey in return.

The 21-year-old currently plies his trade with French side Lille, who were hammered by Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 at the Parc des Princes.

Danilo Pereira opened the scoring for the Parisians, with Presnel Kimpembe and Messi also getting on the score sheet before halftime.

Pereira netted again in the second term before Kylian Mbappe completed the quintet of goals.

It was the second-largest defeat of the season for the Ligue 1 champions who were beaten 4-0 by Nice at the start of the 2021/22 campaign.

But there was a silver lining for young Gomes, who managed to acquire Messi’s shirt after the match – a gift many football fans can only dream of being given.

Before walking away with his trophy, the England U21 star was unexpectedly stopped by the Argentine, who proceeded to ask for his shirt in return.

Portuguese Lille player Angel Gomes couldn't believe it when Lionel Messi also wanted his shirt
