Argentine football star Lionel Messi, 34, has been breaking records in selling PSG jerseys after his move to the French club but there’s another piece of memorabilia that has been put up for auction related to the player.

While he bid adieu to Barcelona in a emotional press conference where he struggled to hold back his tears, the tissue he used to wipe off his tears has been put up for auction for a whopping $1 million.

The tissue is up for an auction on a website named Meikeduo. It has been priced at $1 million.

An unnamed man was reportedly sitting in the front row of the press conference and somehow managed to pick up the tissue that Messi had discarded after drying his eyes.

Messi addressed his final Barca press conference on August 8.

He bade an emotional farewell to the Spanish football club after his successful 21-year-old career with the club.

During the press conference, as Messi started tearing up, his wife Antonela Rocuzzo passed him a tissue to wipe his tears. However, the star footballer wouldn’t have guessed the aftermath of this tissue.

The ad is still live on the international auction website and the memorabilia hasn’t yet been sold, according to Sport Bible.
