Lionel Messi did not have his best game with Paris Saint-Germain against Juventus. As if that wasn't enough, he ended up very angry after being replaced again by Christopher Galtier, coach who arrived at the club this season. Although many made clear their anger for the departure of Messi from the match, several users of social media noticed a particular detail of Messi's clothing that his teammates did not have.

In the run-up to the Champions League opener, the PSG players went out onto the pitch to do pre-competition work in a gray kit. As they left, a camera caught the detail that drove fans crazy: Messi was the only one of his teammates who had the word "GOAT" stamped on his right sleeve, while all the others had the QBE insignia, an English insurance company, on the other side. Many users quickly linked it to the acronym for the Greatest Of All Time.

For this season, Nike and Jordan unveiled all the clothing to be worn by the PSG stars. With the new clothes, also appeared a new sponsor that surprised by name. GOAT, an online platform that sells luxury accessories, sneakers and exclusive apparel. As mentioned above, soccer fans related it to this nickname, so the video of Messi’s shirt went viral on social media.

“Greatest Of All Time”

Although it is not clear why this peculiarity, the truth is that Messi was the only PSG player to wear this sponsor on his warm-up shirt. However, the rest of the PSG shirt shows this advertising on the left sleeve. It is precisely this that raises even more questions. This did not change anything for the fans of the 10, who celebrated that this model of shirt of the Parisians alluded to Messi being the best of all time.
