It is truly a 'superstar' presence. A player who requested a uniform exchange during the game to exchange uniforms with Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC) is also making headlines there. He even seemed to ask earnestly with his hands together.

The situation was like this. The opening match between LAFC and Inter Miami of the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles (LA) on the 22nd (Korea time). Less than 19 minutes into the first half, Maximiliano Falcon (29), a former U-20 representative in Uruguay who was close to Son Heung-min in a dead ball situation, asked Son Heung-min for a uniform.

Falcon appeared to ask Son Heung-min for something, collecting his hands after pointing to his uniform. He covered his mouth with his hands, but he seemed to ask for Son Heung-min's uniform after the game. Later, Falcon gave Son Heung-min a thumbs up, and Son Heung-min also responded with a thumbs up.

It is common to ask players to exchange uniforms, and it is natural for so-called star players to be asked to exchange uniforms. However, the game was in full swing and even less than 20 minutes into the first half, and the "desperate" request for uniforms became a hot topic in the country.

ESPN Deportes said, "Falcon asked Son Heung-min to give him a uniform during the game," adding, "Who doesn't want Son Heung-min's uniform?" Another media outlet, Review Sports TV, said, "It was really early when Falcon asked Son Heung-min for a uniform. This sportsmanship makes the game more beautiful," he said.

Son Heung-min assisted Lionel Messi's first goal in the match against Inter Miami, which was held in front of a whopping 75,673 spectators, leading his team to a 3-0 complete victory. However, it is not known yet whether Son Heung-min was replaced first in the 43rd minute of the second half and exchanged uniforms as requested by Falcon. Messi, who played full time, exchanged uniforms with Son Heung-min's attacking partner Denny Buanga.
