Angel Gomes approached by Leo Messi for shirt swap, Gomes was compared to Messi back in Man United academy

Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten run to 14 games with a 5–1 win away at Lille on Sunday.

Lionel Messi scored his second Ligue 1 goal of the 2021/22 campaign with PSG going 13 points clear at the top of the table.

After the game at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, ex-Manchester United youngster Angel Gomes approached the Argentine in the tunnel and asked for his shirt.

The 21-year-old forward was then shocked to find out that the Barcelona legend actually wanted to have Gomes' shirt as well instead of simply giving him his jersey.

Gomes, who was compared to Messi during his time at the Man United Academy, left the club in the summer of 2020 and joined Lille on a free transfer. The Englishman is now a first-team player after spending a season on loan.
