Tuesday was a momentous night for Lionel Messi as he became only the third menās player in history to reach 100 international goals in Argentinaās victory over CuraƧao.
And one lucky fan received a special memento of the night he will cherish forever.
CuraƧao goalkeeper Eloy Room was the proud recipient of Messiās match-worn shirt, and he was absolutely beaming about it in a post-match interview with TyC Sports.
āItās unbelievable, a dream come true. Everybody is a fan of Messi. Now Iāve played against him,ā said the goalkeeper, who plays his club football for Columbus Crew in MLS.
āIt was a tough game, he scored some goals against me but I also saved some good shots from him. After that he told me that, too ā that I made some good saves ā so that means a lot to me.ā
We have never seen a goalkeeper be so happy to concede seven goals before!
