Stephan El Shaarawy's Football Shirt Collection May Be The Best Yet

Talk about star-studded...

After five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi showing off his stunning football shirt collection last month, Roma forward Stephan El Shaarawy has followed suit.

Messi, who turned 30 on Saturday, posted a picture on Instagram of the shirts he has garnered in his decorated career - with a plethora of his own that he has worn whilst destroying defenders left right and centre.

The jerseys of Barca teammate Gerard Pique, PSG winger Angel di Maria, Roma legend Francesco Totti, Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, recently retired football legend Philipp Lahm and compatriots Pablo Aimar and Sergio Aguero are all the standouts.

Although El Shaarawy at 24 hasn't quite the experience that Messi has in the game and so therefore has a smaller collection, his assortment is packed with star quality and football icons.

The Italian is clearly an admirer of Messi, and has two separate shirts - one in the Argentina national team colours as well as the shirt Messi wore when he scored a brace in a 4-0 Champions League last 16 win over Milan in 2013.

But his wall has a place for arch-rival Ronaldo, as well as two of El Shaarawy's former Rossoneri teammates in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

Completing the legendary display is two Italians - the first being Gianluigi Buffon's Azzurri jersey and the second belonging to Francesco Totti, who El Shaarawy had the pleasure of playing with at Roma before the Giallorossi hero announced his departure from the club last month.

Imagine putting your feet up and watching the TV whilst having the shirts of all those legends hung on your wall?!

Here's what Twitter made of El Shaarawy's collection:

Well played, Stephan.
