“What more can I ask for?” - Liverpool superstar reveals he’s got Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar’s shirts to frame at home
Liverpool superstar Luis Diaz recently revealed that he has Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo's shirts at home.
The Colombian attacker said (via Anfield Watch) he is a massive fan of Messi. He said that the first time he saw the Argentine superstar was in one of Colombia's clashes against Argentina. However, he didn't start the game.
“The day I meet him, I am really going to die! I love Messi. The first time I had contact with him was in a Colombian game in Barranquilla, but I didn't start. I was just starting out in the national team."
Diaz revealed he came across Lionel Messi in a Copa America game a couple of years ago. While he didn't exchange shirts with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, Diaz asked for it through another player.
"And then I came across him in the Copa America two years ago and it was a great emotion. I haven't exchanged shirts with him. But I already have his. I asked him through another player. He signed it for me and everything. He put 'with affection for Luis.'"
