Lionel Messi Breaks Record As Set Of Jerseys Gets Auctioned For $7.803 Million

According to the New York City-based auction house Sotheby’s, Lionel Messi’s six striped blue and white shirts including one jersey worn during the World Cup’s final match was sold for a whopping $7.803 million.

The set of jerseys were worn in Argentina’s group stage matches played against Saudi Arabia and Mexico, the knockout round clashes with Australia, Croatia, and the Netherlands, and the final against France. The only jersey said to have been missing from the collection is the one from Argentina’s group-stage win over Poland.

The New York City-based auction house earlier projected that the jerseys would break a record held by Michael Jordan’s 1998 NBA Finals jersey, which sold for a record $10.1 million last year, but they didn’t.

According to reports, the second most valuable jersey sold at auction was Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal jersey worn during the 1986 World Cup, which sold for $9.28 million in May 2022.
