Mesut Ozil under fire for doing an Andre Santos [divider]
Arsenal star Mesut Özil has been criticised for swapping shirts with Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia at half-time during the Champions League Last 16 second-leg.
Özil came under fire from ITV football pundit and Manchester United legend Paul Scholes for his half-time antics.
“I don’t like it – at the end of the game, maybe. But I’m not a big fan even then,” Scholes said speaking on ITV.
“You do it once you’re in the tunnel or once you’re in the dressing room, out of the way of everyone. At half-time, it’s not for me.”
