Nicolai Boilesen Reacts Brilliantly To Having His Shirt On Lionel Messi's Collection

Lionel Messi showed off his incredible shirt collection, and one of the shirts within the mass pile has reacted brilliantly on Instagram.

The Barcelona ace has a Who's Who of shirts from footballing greats framed upon a small room. From his own shirts - of course - to club colleagues and rivals.

Luis Suarez, Dani Alves, Cesc Fabregas as well as Sergio Aguero, Raul, Francesco Totti, to name but a few, have been bestowed with a place in Messi's house.

Among the glittering names are a couple of somewhat modest players which proves the class of Messi. Like, West Ham's Manuel Lanzini (??) not to mention then-Ajax's Nicolai Boilesen.

And since Messi's Instagram post went up - racking up over 3 million likes, the Danish defender has also taken to social media but to react to having his shirt alongside Thierry Henry, Deco and Pavel Nedved, amongst others.

Boilesen posted an image of a framed Messi shirt accompanied with the words, '"Forced' to put this on the Wall now" while weighing in on the discussion of his greatness by effectively calling him the GOAT.

Very good.

Wandering which shirts Messi actually owns?
