He could not have asked for a better gift from arguably the greatest soccer player in history. Jitmuangnon took to Instagram and shared a picture of him holding his prized signed shirt.

“It’s what I’ve been waiting for. Today has arrived,” said Rodtang Jitmuangnon. He further expressed his excitement and stated, “Feeling speechless, very happy.” Apparently, ‘The Iron Man’ was promised the shirt last month and reportedly he received the Lionel Messi shirt because of the Argentine’s bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, who trained in Thailand and claims Jitmuangnon to be his favorite MMA fighter. Meanwhile, the ONE Championship star also revealed that he never thought this would’ve happened when he was a normal kid. Let’s see what he had to say.
