CuraƧao goalkeeper Eloy Room was the proud recipient of Messiā€™s match-worn shirt, and he was absolutely beaming about it in a post-match interview with TyC Sports.

ā€œItā€™s unbelievable, a dream come true. Everybody is a fan of Messi. Now Iā€™ve played against him,ā€ said the goalkeeper, who plays his club football for Columbus Crew in MLS.

ā€œIt 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!
