Hours Before Argentina’s Friendly, Opponents Beg Lionel Messi to Bring Jerseys For Everyone

It hasn’t even been 2 days since Argentina gave one of the biggest honors to their soccer extraordinaire Lionel Messi. They have renamed their training complex after their soccer pride. He will again don the three-star Argentine kit as the team plays against Curaçao in a few hours. However, one of the opponent players has made a bizarre and hilarious request to Messi.

Messi scored in a 2-0 victory against Panama a few days back. Fans are hoping for the same result for this match as well. Lionel Messi scored his 800th career goal playing against Panama. After this match the World Cup winner will go back to Paris, playing with Kylian Mbappe, and continue dominating Ligue 1.

A bizarre request for Lionel Messi

At the time of writing, there are only about 9 hours left in the matchup between Argentina and Curaçao. A few hours back Curaçao defender Cuco Martina made a hilarious request that might leave even Lionel Messi in stitches. During an interview, he was asked about how the players will decide who gets to keep Messi’s jersey.

Without even skipping a beat, he requested Messi to bring at least 23 shirts. He made it clear that players might start fighting. The question came to light as Panama players played Stone-Paper Scissors to determine who get the jersey. The journalist asks if the Curaçao players are planning to do the same.

They have made their request, whether or not Messi will bring 23 shirts is not yet clear. He might get a great laugh if he watches this though. One player had to wait 3 years for his wish to come true.

Messi grants the wish after 3 years

Last month, PSG faced Bayern Munich in the leg one round of 16 matchups in UCL. Messi might have had PTSD pumping up as the last time he faced the team, they got stomped. Bayern starlet Alphonso Davies asked Messi to exchange t-shirts which heartbroken Messi denied. Given they lost the match 8-2, nobody was surprised he denied a request he usually accepts.
