Portuguese great Paulo Futre recently said that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Lionel Messi was the second player whom he ever asked for an autograph. The other was Diego Maradona. Futre is a famous Portuguese star who is most well known for his stint at Atletico Madrid. He played 202 games for the Spanish side, scoring 49 goals. Messi recently visited Portugal as PSG faced Benfica in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The game ended in a 1-1 draw. Futre met Lionel Messi before the game and asked the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner for his autograph: "Modesty aside, I've only seen two southpaws who seemed much better than me. The two Argentines. Diego Maradona was the only player I asked for an autograph for me, when we shared a team in the World Team in 1987. Today, I have asked Leo Messi for the second."

While talking to the media after the game, the French coach revealed that it was the player who signaled him to make the change. Here's what he said (via GOAL): "He gestured saying he wanted to be substituted. On the last play, he felt tired.
