NOTE 1: AN INCREDIBLE STORY BEHIND THE JERSEY  WHILE LEO WAS INJURED. Third jersey kit issued to leo Messi  only for 1 match for Uefa Champions League Group stage match vs Internazionale Milano on November 06th, 2018. Leo did not play that game but joined the team in Milan in case needed, but finally he saw the game from the stands at San Siro alongside his staff. ( See photo attached) . Is remembered that in  October 2018, Lionel Messi suffered a fracture of the radius bone in his right arm during a Spanish La Liga match between FC Barcelona and Sevilla at Camp Nou. The injury occurred after an accidental fall and sidelined him for approximately three weeks, finally coming back on field the week after the game in Milano where this auctioned jersey was exclusively issued for. 

NOTE 2: SIGNED. Beautiful and clear signature in black pen on the front make this piece an invaluable treasure of world football history.

NOTE 3: LOVE THE GAME. It's well known how much Leo disliked not being able to play on the pitch. In fact, he had very few injuries throughout his career that prevented him from playing as he was always ready to play. This jersey is a small piece of that Leo's story and of his lifelong desire to entertain the world with his game.
