Lionel Messi’s 2022 World Cup shirt collection is poised to achieve a new world record, exceeding £8 million at an upcoming Sotheby’s New York auction, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The Argentina captain’s pivotal role in securing the trophy in Qatar, marked by five goals and two assists, contributed to his record eighth Ballon d’Or win.
Surpassing Steve Hodge’s previous record sale of Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ jersey for £7.1 million last year, Messi’s shirts are anticipated to set a remarkable benchmark in football memorabilia.
