FOOTBALL fans were left stumped after Lionel Messi looked inside Marco Verratti's shorts ahead of PSG's win over Toulouse.

Before kick-off, the players lined up in the tunnel equipped and ready to play.

But Verratti seemed to have a problem with his shorts and asked Messi to help him.

So without hesitation the Argentine pulled up his shorts and looked inside to identify the problem, which could have been caused by a tag.

The incident caught the attention of several fans on social media who found Messi's behavior amusing but peculiar.

One follower wrote: "Why is Messi checking Verratti's ass? "

Another added: "He is clearly having the time of his life and I'm sure Verratti is having an even better time."

And a third said: "Bro cheating on Antonella."

The pair also showed chemistry on the pitch when they combined brilliantly for PSG's second goal.

Verratti singled out Messi with a superb long pass that then carried the ball forward and set up Kylian Mbappe for an easy shot.


With PSG winning 3-0, it was a much better match for Messi than the last one against Monaco, although he was replaced again.

At the weekend, the former Barcelona star seemed unimpressed as he sat on the bench after being substituted against Monaco as his team sought victory in a 1-1 draw.
