During a press conference on August 8, to talk about his departure from the club that has been synonymous with his name since his fans can remember, Messi got emotional and was handed a tissue by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo. The handkerchief that Messi used to wipe his tears on, was listed on an international auction site for a small fortune — 1 million to be exact. In the listing, the seller, Rojak Daily, claimed that the tissue contained Messi's "genetic material".
