Why Did Messi Wear The No.10 For PSG And What Number Did Neymar Wear?

On Wednesday night, Paris Saint-Germain took on Marseille in the last 16 of the Coupe de France but the number that caught most fans eyes may have been the no.10. That's because, in unusual fashion, it was being worn by Lionel Messi, who normally wears no.30 for the Parisian side. The situation at the State Velodrome may have confused some onlookers, but there was a simple explanation for this surprise number swap. With Messi taking the no.10 shirt for French Cup games, that means Neymar has to move from his usual jersey number as well. Against Marseille, he was happy to take the no.11 to let his friend and teammate have the no.10 for the day. Read Also : Why Mbappe didn't sign for Arsenal in the 'easiest' transfer in history??
