WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Estevao, who is set to join Chelsea after the tournament, certainly wasn't fazed about taking on some of the biggest names in football in the match.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told ESPN Brasil: "When it was half-time, I was p*ssed off because the team was losing, but I ran into the tunnel, caught him, and swapped with him. It's incredible, a guy you play on a video game, you're swapping shirts with him, sharing the field with him. It's an incredible situation. He (Messi) winked at me and my legs started to shake, right at the start of the game. It's so emotional, he's an idol, a reference not only for me, but for the whole world. It's such a joy to have shared the pitch with him."</p><p>Estevao also explained how he managed to swap shirts with Luis Suarez as well: "With Suárez too (he changed his shirt). At half-time, when we were getting back into the game, the ball was still in the middle, he came, greeted me, asked to change the shirt. Of course. He asked to change it later. This affection is incredible."</p>
