"Changed lives"
Messi napkin auctioned off for a crazy sum
The legendary napkin on which FC Barcelona signed the 13-year-old young footballer Lionel Messi on December 14, 2000, has been auctioned off at Bonhams for 762,400 pounds (888,060 euros). This was announced by the English auction house on Friday.
Ian Ehling from Bonhams: "Yes, it's a paper napkin, but it's the famous napkin that was at the start of Lionel Messi's career. It changed Messi's life, the future of FC Barcelona and helped give billions of fans around the world some of soccer's most glorious moments." Incredible: the auction began with a starting price of around 350,000 euros.
Messi later became a club icon at Barca and one of the best footballers of all time. In 2021, the eight-time world footballer left the club for PSG and currently plays for Inter Miami.
