Every athlete has a box of Priceless memories. 

A place where they keep items that have so much personal meaning, and in some instances, only make sense to them. Whether it is the bootlaces from a priceless goal, the forgotten confetti of a win, or a letter their father gave them, they are all unique memories to look back on, with a smile.

To the fan, it is those beautiful untold stories behind the saved items that intrigue us.
Why do the mementos mean so much, why did they keep that particular item, what moment does it symbolise? When it comes to Lionel Messi, one of the greatest athletes of all time, our interest in those defining moments is heightened.

Working closely with Messi, Mastercard is proud to reveal the unremarkable objects that had the most remarkable consequences in his career and life, unpacking his treasured memories and revealing the moments that made him the man he is today.

Exclusively revealed for Mastercard, we thank Lionel Messi.
