Patrick Mahomes and soccer legend Lionel Messi exchange jerseys in a meeting of the "GOATS"
In this story:
Some athletes possess that extra something when it comes to their skills on the field and their star power off the field. That "it" factor propels these athletes into a different realm of money, power, and super stardom. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Tom Brady are all examples of this phenomenon. While the playing careers of those three superstars have come to an end, their seats have been filled by current star athletes.
Two of those are Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is rabidly chasing all the records Tom Brady currently holds. Mahomes is a three-time Super Bowl winner, MVP of all three, and also a two-time regular-season MVP award winner. He has dazzled NFL fans with his unique ability to make a play out of thin air and throw the football at incredible angles.
In the world of soccer, no name is as recognizable, or as successful, as Argentina star Lionel Messi. Messi has 944 goals in club, national, and international play combined. He is a worldwide star and commands the attention of any arena he enters. The two stars met up recently for what can only be described as one of the most epic jersey exchanges ever.

The moment was shared via the official "X" account of Major League Soccer. It highlights Mahomes' continued effort to raise awareness for other sports and their stars. Not that Messi needs any help in the star department. A pretty epic moment between two legendary performers who could go down as the best to ever do it in their respective sports when it is all said and done.
