Messi's Napkin Contract

In 2000, 13 year old Lionel Messi's father threatened to bring back Messi to Argentina if a deal could not be struck between Leo and FC Barcelona.

A meeting was held between both parties including sporting director Carles Rexach in a restaurant and Carles asked a barman to bring over a pen and paper but then the barman ends up giving a serviette.

Little did he know that what was going to be written on it would be a piece of footballing as Lionel Messi signed his first contract for the Catalans on THAT napkin.

Just imagine how much is that napkin worth now?

The video shows the holy napkin and Messi's skills when he was a teenager and boy, was he good.
