Emiliano Martinez: "Messi was my idol growing up"

If there was ever a testament to Leo Messi's incomprehensible longevity, it's this quote from Emi Martinez - "Messi was my idol growing up."

And Emiliano Martinez has revealed that Lionel Messi asked him for this picture together after they won the Copa America with Argentina. 

Paris Saint-Germain signed Lionel Messi last summer to boost their chances of ending their long wait for their first Champions League title.

However, the Parisians failed to even reach this season's quarter-finals following Wednesday night's capitulation against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Despite boasting the most fearsome front three in world football (Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe), PSG were unable to defeat Madrid over two legs.
