Having Lionel Messi’s jersey is a privilege since the Argentinian is one of the best players that football has known in its entire history. Number 1 for some. But he arrived at the sevenfold Ballon d’Or one day to ask for the jersey of a legend, he who never does. Surely you have already seen an opponent approach Lionel Messi in the tunnel or during a match to whisper something in his ear. Often, these are requests for jersey exchanges with the 2022 world champion who does not hesitate when he receives them. Speaking on the Argentinian Channel, Lionel Messi said he never asks for an opponent’s shirt. But he had to do violence to himself when he faced Zinedine Zidane in a Clasico on his debut with FC Barcelona. “I don’t ask for shirts, I usually exchange them, but I once asked Zidane,” Lionel Messi told El Futbolero. “If there is an Argentinian, I swap him with him, but, unless someone asks me, I don’t ask anyone,” added La Pulga who has a nice collection of shirts at home. .
