Messi's football legend: from the napkin signing to the ups and downs of the football king's life
Discover the origins of Messi's career.
Messi's football career, like a fascinating **, is full of twists and turns and incredible twists. From an obscure child to a world-famous football king, Messi's road to success has been full of ups and downs. The momentous moment that would determine Messi's life took place on December 14, 2000, marking the beginning of his career.
Messi was small in stature at the time and was rejected by many clubs. However, it was Spanish giants Barcelona who opened the door for Messi. After Messi's outstanding performance on the field, the Barcelona management resolutely chose to sign him. On December 14, 2000, a hasty and historic signing was completed at a restaurant. The top brass recorded the decision with a napkin.
This decision was not without controversy. Some executives were skeptical of the signing because of the financial burden of Messi's need for injections to help his body grow, and it was too early to discuss whether Messi could become a football superstar. However, Messi's agent, Mingla, dared to take a risk and locked in Messi's future with a napkin.
This napkin not only changed the fate of Messi, but also the history of Barcelona. Messi's joining has helped Barcelona reach the pinnacle for more than ten years, achieving an unprecedented six crowns and the highest gold content of five crowns. This little napkin became the beginning of Messi's legend and is etched in the annals of football.
The rest of the story is familiar to everyone. Messi's years at Barcelona were full of accolades and miracles, and his skills and goals became classics in football history. However, now that the napkin will be auctioned, British ** agency Bonhams wants to price it between €350,000 and €640,000.
The intriguing signature on this napkin will really fascinate the fans, but a question lingers in people's minds: why is this historic napkin not in Barça's museum?
Perhaps, if this napkin had remained at Barcelona, it would not have been an auction item. No matter how bad Barça's financial situation is, this historic napkin will not be auctioned off easily. Perhaps this is also a regret in the hearts of fans, because if such an artifact is exhibited in the Barcelona Museum, it will become a place of pilgrimage for fans.
So, in what kind of ** will this symbolic napkin finally change hands, and who will become its new owner? This question will be revealed in a future auction. The auction house price is between 350,000 and 640,000 euros, while the final outcome is still unknown.
Will Messi take it upon himself to include this napkin in his personal collection? Although Messi has a bad relationship with Barcelona's top management, his deep affection for Barcelona cannot be ignored. This napkin is undoubtedly a fresh start for him, and perhaps he will pocket it as a fan and become a cherished personal memory.
Messi's career began with a napkin and was full of dramatic turns. The auction of this napkin will go down as a deal to be reckoned with in the history of football. Regardless of the final outcome, this story will leave a strong mark on the hearts of fans and become part of Messi's legend.
In the echoes of history, we can't help but ask: what other stories in the history of football are hidden behind napkins, waiting to be revealed? Perhaps the football legend of the future is quietly buried on seemingly ordinary pieces of paper, waiting to be discovered. In any case, Messi's football legend is sure to once again raise keen attention to the history of football in this napkin auction.
