The legendary Lionel Messi has been all over French newspapers and sports websites lately for the way he looked in Paris Saint-Germain’s recent match against Montpellier.
He wore clothes that made him look classy and expensive, and his team won with a clear double during the eighth round of the French championship.
The star of Argentina was seen in the Princes’ Garden stands wearing jeans and a blue tunic with red and white overlays that matched the colors of his club, Parisian.
But it was the watch on his wrist that caught people’s attention, especially when he was talking on the phone.
According to the French website “Sportion,” this unique watch costs close to two hundred thousand euros, or exactly sixteen thousand euros.
It was made by the international brand “Jacob & Co.” in 2018 as part of a partnership that made this version a first for the luxury watch giant.
According to the source, this model was made just for Messi, and he helped with the ideas and finishing touches of all three agreed models.
One is made of titanium, the other of gold, and the last one is made of “encrusted” diamonds and white gold, with an alligator leather strap that has his signature on the back.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo live what is called a “life of luxury and opulence.”
According to “Forbes” magazine’s latest report, the two are the richest and most profitable football players, with Don’s profits reaching around $125 million and Leo’s at nearly $110 million, just from their annual salaries and commercial rights last season.
Barcelona and the all-time top scorer in La Liga lost their last game against Montpellier because of a minor setback they suffered last week.
However, most signs point to them being close to fully recovering for their match on Tuesday night against Manchester City, who are currently leading their first group in the European Champions League, along with Club Brugge of Belgium and Leipzig of Germany.
