Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, opted not to swap shirts with Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, following their 1-1 draw in the Champions League on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Mbappe had opened scoring from the penalty spot, before Messi fired in a stunning equalizer from long range.<\/p>\n

However, the result was not enough for Barca, who had lost the first leg 4-1 at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

After the game, Mbappe asked Barcelona youngster Pedri for his jersey.<\/p>\n

Pedri had played 78 minutes before he was replaced by Miralem Pjanic.<\/p>\n

But he made his way back onto the field after the game and was approached by Mbappe, who had already removed his PSG jersey.<\/p>\n

The duo hugged and spoke to each other for a few seconds before Mbappe asked the 18-year-old for his shirt.<\/p>\n

Pedri responded by unzipping his jacket and swapping tops with the Frenchman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
