Argentine footballer, Lionel Messi’s exit from Barcelona was certainly an emotional affair as the ace player broke down during his farewell speech. During the moment, the media and Barcelona players gave him a standing ovation for about a minute and a half.
We could see how Messi was holding back his tears. The 34-year-old bid farewell to Camp Nou after spending 21 years of his career and will now play for his new club Paris Saint Germain.
When Messi was getting emotional, his wife Antonella gave him tissue paper to wipe them off. And now, the lucky tissue that Lionel Messi used to wipe off his tears during his farewell speech at FC Barcelona is said to be on sale for an eye-watering $1 million.
A man has got the used tissue from the event and posted an ad online saying that the tissue would be available for sale on a site called Meikeduo. The person is auctioning the tissue with hilarious advertising – the tissue contained Messi’s genetic material that would allow you to clone a football player like him.
On the career front, questions still remain intact on when will Messi play for PSG. His debut could be pushed until September 12 specifically to make his first appearance in front of a full crowd at the Parc des Princes.
However, some reported that Messi is expected to make his debut against Reims on August 29. Lionel Messi at PSG will reportedly see him making €35 million per season, including bonuses from his two-year contract with PSG with an option to extend it to June 2024.
