The boots of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, in which he broke Pele’s record for the most goals per football club, were sold at Christie’s for a record £ 125,000 ($ 172,700).
According to the auction house, the shoes of the Adidas company were sold in blue with yellow-pink inserts, in which the Argentine footballer played in the match against Valladolid in December last year. Messi then managed to score his 644th goal for Barcelona, ​​beating Pele, who scored 643 goals for Santos.
It is noted that the proceeds from the sale of the legendary footwear will be used to support the health project of the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona.
