From Melita Stadium in Sydney's west to lining up against Lionel Messi at the World Cup; it has been a remarkable sporting journey for Socceroos striker Mitchell Duke - and it can now be revealed the 31-year-old also nabbed the Argentinian superstar's jersey after the brave Aussies were beaten in Qatar.

Duke and Messi were summoned for post-game drug testing at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium last Sunday (AEDT) following the Round of 16 knockout clash - and the Japanese based forward was seething.

'Last game, the way it finished too, all I wanted was to spend time with the boys after the journey we had,' Duke told CODE Sports.

'So I was raging.'
