Lionel Messi Game-Used #10 FC Barcelona Home Shirt.  2009/10 Season.

Lionel Messi is widely regarded as the best footballer on the planet today.  Voted as the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2009, Messi has placed himself as a true legend at the young age of 23.  If he continues his scintilating form into his prime, Messi will surely go down as the greatest footballer to ever live.

On the auction block: A Lionel Messi Game-Used #10 F.C. Barcelona Home Shirt from the 2009/10 season in La Liga.  For much of the 2009/10 Season, FC Barcelona was considered one of the greatest teams assembled.  While their UEFA Champions league repeat attempt failed in the semi-finals, the club went on to win La Liga with a record 99 points over Real Madrid's 96 points.  This jersey was worn by Lionel Messi during a La Liga match, showing minor signs of use upon close inspection including a slight odor.  This piece posesses several authentication details that identify it as Messi's match top.  Please take a moment to review the authentication notes provided below.  Also please refer to the photos provided.  Photo match.
