On 19 January, star strikers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo played against each other for the first time since 8 December 2020. The latest match was a friendly at the King Fahd Stadium in the Saudi capital Riyadh between Messi's Paris Saint-Germain and the Saudi national team made up of players from the Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr clubs.
In the wake of the Paris Saint-Germain v Riyadh All-Star Team game in Saudi Arabia which PSG won 5-4, the French team has put the footballers' shirts worn during the game on sale.
A total of 17 shirts worn by PSG players in recent matches were sold at the auction, but it was Lionel Messi's jersey from the latest duel against his long-time "nemesis" Cristiano Ronaldo that attracted most of the attention. At present it has attracted bids of up to 25,000 euros ($27,000), with eight days left to close the auction.
A different Messi shirt, the one he wore at the game against Angers (2-0) earlier this month, was bought by a Chinese man. The buyer made seven bids, starting with 22,000 euros, and won with a bid of 43,623 euros ($47,450).
