LOOK: Messi makes up for nutmegging Leicester City player by signing his jersey
He just seems like a swell guy
Lionel Messi likes to make amends. The Barcelona superstar had a classy gesture to an opposing player after a match on Wednesday.
It all started when Messi nutmegged Leicester City's Marc Albrighton during their preseason International Champions Cup friendly, which Barca won 4-2. After the match, Messi signed Albrighton's jersey. Take a look.

Yes, Albrighton. You got nutmegged by the game's best and now have a jersey you can sell down the road to cover college for every single one of your grandkids. Tough life.
But on a serious note -- it says a lot to see how other players look up to Messi and what they think about him, even getting their jersey signed by him. Props to both for being good sports.
