Deal? Child offers his mother to Lionel Messi as swap exchange to try and get PSG star’s shirt after Champions League game against RB Leipzig
A child who attended PSG’s Champions League game against RB Leipzig on Tuesday night went viral after making an unusual proposition to Lionel Messi.
The Argentine icon started for the French giants in their Group A match, which took place at the Parc Des Princes.
Prior to kick-off, while he was warming up, one young fan appeared in the stands with a sign directed at him.
And this was far from your standard ‘Can I have your shirt please?’ sign.
The boy’s banner instead read: ‘Leo, give me your shirt, I give you my mum.’
His mother stood next to him in the stadium, looking distinctly unimpressed
When the first whistle blew to begin the game, Messi was yet to respond to the youngster.
It admittedly seems rather unlikely that he will accept the deal.
Also in attendance at the Parc Des Princes was Ronaldinho.
The Brazilian icon, formerly of PSG, shared an emotional embrace with his ex-Barcelona teammate Messi before kick-off.
