Lionel Messi Signs a Bayern Munich Shirt on Ballon d'Or Red Carpet

Even before the Ballon d'Or ceremony started, Lionel Messi provided the world with two major shocks.

Firstly, he eschewed his typical fashion choices to wear a very normal-looking dinner jacket.

Secondly, he had no objection with signing a Bayern Munich shirt for a fan on the red carpet. 

Expect to see the "Messi signs (a shirt) for (a) Bayern (fan)" headlines very shortly.
