Messi was walking down the tunnel together with his teammates after the celebrations when he noticed the fan. He held his hand and accepted his request for a selfie.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner played a huge part in PSG's success on the night. He opened the scoring after rounding the goalkeeper before Neymar's brace and Sergio Ramos' audacious backheel sealed victory for Christophe Galtier's men.

Sergio Ramos scored an early contender for goal of the season in PSG's victory

Sports Brief had also reported that Sergio Ramos scored a wonderful backheel to help Paris Saint-Germain win their first trophy of the season. PSG beat Nantes 4-0 to win the Champions Trophy in a game that was staged at the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv, Israel.

It was a game marked by brilliant goals, with Lionel Messi opening the scoring with a trademark goal by rounding off the goalkeeper. Neymar scored twice, with one coming from the penalty spot, to guarantee Christophe Galtier's first trophy in charge of the French giants.

But it was Ramos' goal that got fans talking. Marco Verratti lobbed an audacious pass into the area, which was turned goal-bound by Pablo Sarabia, but Nantes goalkeeper thwarted his effort with a fingertip save. With the chance to score seemingly gone, Ramos produced a wonderful backheel to get his season going.
