Updated 18/10/2016 19:23 CETAfter he was photographed wearing Derrick Rose's famous retired Chicago Bulls jersey, Lionel Messi has been sent a Bull's jersey from the club which features his name and the No. 10, which he wears for Barcelona.
The number is also retired in the Chicago Bulls since 1994, a tribute to Earl 'Butterbean' Love, who wore the colours of Chicago between 1968 and 1976.
Messi is a notorious NBA fan who was involved in a commercial with Kobe Bryant in recent years, and was once sent a jersey from Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.
