In the 23rd round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain won 5-1 away to Lille. In this game, Messi scored a goal and contributed an assist.
Defending champions Lille have seen their performance slip this season after winning the Ligue 1 title last season due to the loss of players and coaches.
Despite The Lille's defeat, for Angel Gomez, the young player in this team, the game could have been wonderful and perhaps will never be forgotten.
After the game whistle, 21-year-old Angel Gomez met Messi, 34, in the players' tunnel. He asked Messi for a jersey, and this wish was met by Messi.
The young player, perhaps ecstatic after getting Messi's shirt, quickly turned away with Messi's shirt.
Messi quickly grabbed the young Gomez and said the lad should also return his shirt to Messi. This surprised and touched the young Gomez.
Angel Gomez did not expect that Messi, a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner and one of the greatest players in history, would also want his jersey.
Angel Gomez, 21, is an English player who is a Manchester United academy and plays as a midfielder.
He joined Manchester United's youth academy at the age of six and spent 14 years at Old Trafford.
In August 2020, the player moved to Lille and was then loaned to play in the Portuguese league in order to gain valuable game experience.
This season, Gomez has made 16 appearances since returning to Lille. He was also called up for the first time by England U21 in October last year.
