It is the mythical jacket that the Argentine star used on April 23, 2017 in the classic played at the Santiago Bernabéu, in which he scored the 500th goal of his career and, in the middle of the celebration, he took it off to show it to all the public.
The admirer who has obtained this relic calls himself Anish on social media and his country of origin is unknown. Through his Instagram account, he released the news.
In this social network, he wrote a post that says the following: “It comes to my collection. That shirt that Leo held after deciding the classic with his 500th goal.
Along with the message, one of the most viralized photos of that time was uploaded: the one from 10 of Barcelona interacting with the public with the shirt in his hands.
“It is the most sacred of the holy grails,” he mentioned about the jacket.
That afternoon, Messi scored twice in Barça’s 3-2 win over Madrid in the Spanish league, the second being the 500th of his professional career.
“I can’t believe it,” confessed Anish on the networks, who claimed to have verified the serial number of the garment to verify that it is real.
In addition, he said that “players usually wear two shirts per game, but each one is unique and has different characteristics. For example, Nike jerseys each have a unique serial number.”
The official auction site highlighted the originality of the product, which confirmed that it went through an authentication process.
Later, it was established that the identification number ‘F7W572947 2016 on the label was the same as the one Messi showed to spectators at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The bidding for the shirt had started on April 13, with a price of 100 thousand dollars.
In total, 19 offers were made until the last one, which ended at 375 thousand (plus buyer’s premiums) on May 1.
Another of the shirts that Anish has in his collection is the number 10 of the Argentine team that Diego Maradona wore in the rematch against Australia, at the Monumental stadium, during the playoffs to qualify for the World Cup in the United States.
