Messi's Roma shirt museum secret

AS journalist and self-confessed massive Real Madrid fan Tomás Roncero admitted to being very impressed by an item spotted in Leo Messi's football museum, as revealed on Spanish TV's 'El Chiringuito' football programme.

An eagle-eyed researcher had spotted that Messi has kept Kostas Manolas' shirt in his collection. The Roma centre-back of course scored the 82nd minute goal that knocked Barcelona out of this year's Champions League at the quarter-final stage. That said, it's not the shirt from that painful night for Barcelona that Messi has on display.

Roncero though said he thought it showed what a good sport Messi is and that the Argentine deserved a huge amount of credit for the move.
