During PSG's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, Lionel Messi came dangerously close to being cleaned out by a pitch invader before being slide tackled by an advancing steward.
The 35-year-old was wiped out by a steward who prevented a pitch invader from him after the game.

The seven-time winner of the Ballon d'Or, who hasn't triumphed in the match since 2015, was left writhing in agony after a stumbling steward crashed into the back of his legs.
The incident occurred just seconds after the game's final whistle, giving the 37-year-old something else to consider after goals from Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
If you recall that Kingsley Coman gave the Bundesliga powerhouse a 1-0 victory in the first leg at Parc des Princes, and Choupo-Moting, another ex-PSG player, added a second goal completed the 3-0 aggregate scoreline.
Christophe Galtier's team hope of winning the European competition for the first time were already gone when they were defeated 3-0 on aggregate.
As his contract expires at the end of the season, it might also be Messi's last game in the league, though he has hinted an extension may be in the works.
The Argentine is yet to commit his future with PSG as he will become a free agent at the end of the season.
