Auctioning Messi And Maradona Items From Barcelona's Locker Room
FC Barcelona has launched an unprecedented auction as part of its memorabilia project, offering fans the chance to acquire historical items from the legendary Spotify Camp Nou. From lockers of club legends to iconic stadium elements, this initiative aims to connect supporters with unforgettable moments in Barça's history.
Among the most notable items in the auction is the locker of Lionel Messi, starting at $350,000. This piece, which still bears the marks of the Argentine star's boots, is one of the most sought-after items. Another standout object is the locker of Gerard Piqué, previously used by legends like Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola, with a starting price of $200,000.
In addition to the lockers, other historic stadium elements will also be available, such as penalty spots, corner flags, and the crests that adorned the dugouts. For the most nostalgic fans, photographs of the teams that won the UEFA Champions League in different seasons will also be up for grabs.
The auction, organized in collaboration with Goldin, will take place from January 23 to February 13, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and Barça supporters alike.
Diamonds, Grass, and More: Barça Expands Its Memorabilia Collection
