After the 4-0 defeat to which his team was inflicted at Camp Nou, Hirving Lozano waited to be interviewed by the media holding the shirt which he had obtained from the French forward, instead of opting for Leo Messi's.
As far as he is concerned, the Barcelona captain is still the best in the world after bagging yet another Champions League hat-trick in the match.
The forward also complimented Ousmane Demebele, the man with whom he swapped shirts. While Messi was the star man on the night, Dembele added to his run of scoring by grabbing the Catalan team's second goal of the evening.
While the defeat implies it was a solely one-sided affair, the former Pachuca striker had his own moments to show his quality in the match, and was a particular danger on the counter-attack.
However, he didn't get his reward for his efforts, and the Dutch side failed to register a goal in the match which makes the punishment dealt out by Messi and Dembele even harsher.
