 The tissue paper used by Lionel Messi during his farewell news conference for 4 o'clock Barcelona to wipe his emotions has been auctioned off for a cool billion dollars. The Argentine who now wears number 30 at PSG, the same number he wore when he made his professional debut for Barcelona back in 2004, cried during the farewell speech and his wife Antonella handed him a tissue. After the emotional news conference, an anonymous person obtained the used tissue and posted an online ad stating the tissue would be offered for purchase for an inflated price. Just a few days ago, the auction information for the tissue was published on an international e-commerce platform. The tissue was valued at $1 million. According to the individual, the tissue included Messi's genetic DNA that might be used to clone a football player similar to him.
