The tissue soaked with the tears of Lionel Messi has been put up for sale for a staggering $1 million
Just at a time when it looked like 2021 couldn’t get any weirder, someone has decided to profit of Lionel Messi’s plight. An unidentified person has ended up putting Lionel Messi’s tear soaked tissue up for sale for a behemoth amount.
Lionel Messi Used Tissue Goes Up For Auction
The auction platform, Mercado Libre has seen a post crop up, one which advertises the tissue Lionel Messi had used during his press conference at FC Barcelona. The last time ever he had graved the land of his boyhood club, Messi who was emotionally fraught during the farewell speech had used the tissue in question to wipe his tears at the evet.
The Rs.7.5 crore worth tissue was subsequently obtained by someone who has now decided to rein in a give payday for himself. He’s talked about how he would be willing to part company with the tissue if a sizeable bid came in after he nabbed the tissue Messi had thrown in the garbage bin.

Justifying the colossal price tag he had accorded to the tissue, the person talked about how the tissue was riddled with Messi’s genetic material and could be used to clone a footballer akin to Messi. While he’s not backed his claim of it officially being Messi’s tissue and it still unknown if anyone has decided to indulge in the bit of memorabilia, given Messi’s staggering fan following, it won’t be surprising if the tissue does land a mammoth bid.
Messi’s PSG debut meanwhile is still being awaited with the player set to miss his side’s forthcoming showdown with Brest in Ligue 1.
