Koulibaly 🗣️: “ I will never forget that day. In the tunnel before the match, I shyly asked Leo if we could swap shirts later. He smiled gently and said ‘OK’.”
“But after the final whistle, the pitch was so crowded, and Leo quickly went inside. I went back to our dressing room feeling a bit sad, thinking: ‘He is a massive superstar, he probably just forgot about me’.”
“Suddenly, the door to our dressing room opened, and everyone went completely quiet. It was Messi. He walked straight up to me, handed me his shirt, gave me a warm hug, Then he smiled and walked away.”
“The greatest player in the world came all the way to our dressing room just to keep a simple promise to me. That is pure class.”
