2008-09 Barcelona Home Shirt Lionel Messi 10 [New] S

Lionel Messi Barcelona 2008-09 Home Shirt 10, Nike’s half-blue, half-red design from the season Messi inherited Barcelona’s number 10 and became the central figure in Pep Guardiola’s historic treble-winning side. Finished with the yellow Messi 10 nameset and UNICEF sponsor, this shirt marks the beginning of the number that would become synonymous with his Barcelona career.

Nike strips the traditional blaugrana stripes back to a bold split design, with deep blue and red halves divided cleanly through the centre. Yellow Nike branding and UNICEF sponsorship provide the contrast, while Catalan detailing at the back of the neck and the Barcelona crest complete one of the most immediately recognisable shirts of the Guardiola era.

Messi produced 38 goals across all competitions in 2008-09 as Barcelona won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League in Guardiola’s first season as manager. He scored in the 2-0 Champions League final victory over Manchester United in Rome, heading home Barcelona’s second goal, before winning his first Ballon d’Or later in 2009. The Messi 10 shirt from this season captures a pivotal point in his career: the first year in the iconic number 10, the first treble in Spanish football history and the campaign that established Lionel Messi as the world’s leading player.
