What happened when I asked Messi for his shirt - Rudiger

Chelsea player, Antonio Rudiger has revealed what transpired when he exchanged shirts with Barcelona star player, Lionel Messi.

Both men had just finished a Champions League game which Rudiger counted a privilege to have played against Messi who is arguably the best player in the world.

According to Rudiger, he walked up to Messi to take his shirt but never knew Messi wanted his too.

He said, "I have Lionel Messi’s shirt from when we played Barcelona in the Champions League a couple of years ago. It was a big honour for me to play against a player like him so I just asked him after the game when we shook hands.

"I thought for sure he doesn’t want mine but then Cesc Fabregas was nearby and he said ‘give him your shirt, he wants your shirt too!".
