He was emotional during his farewell press conference on 8 August, crying his heart out as he explained the reasons for his departure.
His wife, Antonela Roccuzzo then passed him a piece of tissue paper as he cried, wiping his nose before speaking.
According to Archyde, the used tissue was purportedly picked up by someone and auctioned on an Argentinian online marketplace, for US$1 million.
The listing said that the tissue contained Messi’s “genetic material” for people to clone him.
