The Champion: Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi (Rosario, June 24, 1987) is universally recognized as one of the greatest footballers of all time, winner of eight Ballon d'Or awards and a World Cup with Argentina in 2022. Wearing the number 10 jersey for Barcelona, he wrote unforgettable pages in football history, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer and leading them to conquer every trophy. In 2012, the year of this jersey, Messi set the extraordinary record of 91 goals in a calendar year, a record still unmatched. A phenomenon capable of reinventing the role of the attacker, he enchanted the world with dribbling, vision, and unprecedented scoring consistency. His Barça jersey is one of the most coveted collector's items worldwide.

Replica Name and Number: What it means

It is important to specify with transparency that this item is an original Nike store jersey from the era, to which the name "Messi" and the number 10 have been applied in a replica version, meaning they are reproduced and do not correspond to the official Nike print. This is a common and perfectly legitimate practice in collecting: the jersey is authentic and original from the period, while the personalization faithfully reproduces the champion's name and number without being the official lettering. This detail does not diminish the charm of the collectible, but it is right that the collector knows it for a fully informed purchase decision.

What is a Store jersey?

A Store jersey is the official version produced by the technical brand and intended for sale to the public and fans, identical in colors, logos, and design to the one worn on the field. It differs from Player Issued and Match Worn versions in its commercial purpose, while maintaining the full official status of the product and all the distinctive elements of the season. For the collector, it represents the most accessible and authentic way to own the jersey of a legendary champion like Lionel Messi.
