Girona defender Pablo Maffeo turned down the opportunity to swap shirts with Lionel Messi because he wanted Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s for a friend.

Manchester City loanee Maffeo was given the arduous task of man-marking Lionel Messi for Girona’s La Liga clash with Barcelona on Saturday.

Barcelona won 3-0 but Maffeo, 20, kept Messi quiet and said after the game: “A friend of mine wanted Ter Stegen’s shirt so I asked the goalkeeper.

“Messi is the best in the world, but friends come first.”

Lionel Messi is arguably one of the best players of the game in this century, the Argentine has always maintained consistency in punishing opposition players and goalkeepers.  A feat that has seen him being crowned with the prestigious Ballon d'Or award a record five times. While Messi has been a torn in the flesh for most goalkeepers, some of them have proven to be invincible against the Argentine.   Here are four goalkeepers that have somehow managed not to concede against the 'magical' Barcelona forward. 1. Pepe Reina ( 2 clean sheets)  Liverpool knocked Barcelona out on away goals when they beat then holders 2-1 at the Nou Camp in the 2007 last-16, before losing 1-0 at home. Reina was beaten by Deco and Eidur Gudjohnsen but Messi failed to find the back of the net despite playing all 180 minutes.  2. Julio Cesar (2 clean sheets) :  Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan produced a masterclass in defence to beat Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate in the 2010 Champions Leag...
