Messi gives his shorts away as Barca beat Sevilla in Super Cup

Lionel Messi wasn’t just caught with his pants down against Sevilla on Sunday - he was caught with them completely off.The Barcelona forward was involved as the Catalan side chalked up a 2-0 lead in the first leg of their Super Cup tie with the Andalusians, but, for once, it wasn`t his work with the ball drawing the attention.After the referee had blown the whistle for full-time and the players began to head back to the dressing rooms, a camera man approached Messi and asked him for his shirt, reports ESPNFC.Undeterred by the negative response to that request, he turned his attention to the player’s shorts - which the Argentine international duly handed over, before heading up the tunnel in just his underwear.Messi has become accustomed to these types of events in recent months. During the Copa America semifinal he happily hugged a fan who had breached the pitch.And in a recent International Champions Cup match against Celtic, his security team was quick to react when a supporter jumped down from the stands in an attempt to meet his hero.
