JAKARTA - Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi received an unusual request after his team's 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on Thursday, February 20, 2025. The referee asked for his T-shirt.
Messi's shirt is arguably the most searched in the world of football, with players and fans around the world looking to get it.
However, on that day, Mexican referee Marco Antonio Ortiz Nava approached Messi on the pitch after the final whistle sounded to ask for his shirt.
Messi, who has played for 90 minutes and scored his only goal in the first leg of the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup first round, complied with the request.
Ortiz Nava, 36, had to wait to get the valuable shirt because Messi agreed to give him the shirt once he was in the dressing room. That's not without reason.
