Lionel Messi almost WIPED OUT by pitch invader after Bayern’s win over PSG as fans all make same joke
A pitch invader made a beeline for Lionel Messi following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.
Messi was part of a PSG team that lost 2-0 in Germany on Wednesday night as Bayern progressed to the quarter-finals 3-0 on aggregate.
As Messi was leaving the pitch, a fan dressed in a blue tee-shirt sprinted over to him and tried to touch the 35-year-old.
But he slipped just before he could grab Messi and was then quickly pounced upon by multiple security guards.
After being restrained by security, the fan shouted at Messi to try to get his attention.
But Messi gave him nothing more than a momentary glance back as he trudged off back to the locker rooms.
Messi has now exited the Champions League in the round of 16 in three consecutive seasons.

PSG fans who noticed the moment were all making the same joke after the former Barcelona star failed to impact the match against the Bundesliga giants.
One tweeted: "I didn’t see Messi throughout the match, till the pitch invader showed up proper GOAT
A second commented: "That pitch invader at the end did more than Messi
A third wrote: "Pitch invader shouting after Messi..."."ssi...
"Yeah, Messi really wants to stop and take a selfie or sign something, when he's just been knocked out of the Champions League."
A fourth said: "He did more on the pitch than Messi in 90 minutes."
PSG went into the game needing to win after losing the first leg 1-0 but their task was made even harder when Choupo-Moting opened the scoring in the 61st minute.
Gnabry then ended the tie in the 89th minute as he dinked the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma to send Bayern through to the quarter-finals.
