Lionel Messi Argentina Number 10 GOAT Pointing To Sky Celebration Ugly Christmas Sweater Blue White Gold Trophy Fair Isle Pattern Holiday Knit Jumper

The Lionel Messi Argentina Number 10 GOAT Pointing To Sky Celebration Ugly Christmas Sweater Blue White Gold Trophy Fair Isle Pattern Holiday Knit Jumper immortalizes the most iconic moment in football history when Argentina defeated France 4-2 on penalties (following a thrilling 3-3 draw after extra time) in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final at Lusail Stadium in Qatar on December 18, 2022, securing their third World Cup title and first since Diego Maradona’s legendary 1986 triumph. This officially licensed holiday sweater features Messi’s signature “pointing to the sky” celebration—a deeply emotional tribute to his late maternal grandmother Celia Olivera Cuccittini, who passed away when he was just 10 years old but was instrumental in convincing local club managers to let the young Messi play football, a gesture he has performed after every goal throughout his illustrious career as he once explained: “I am doing this because I dedicate my goals to my grandmother. She took me to football, but now she can’t see how far I have come”. The Fair Isle knitted design incorporates Argentina’s iconic blue and white national colors alongside golden trophy motifs representing the FIFA World Cup trophy that Messi finally lifted after scoring twice in the final (including a second-half goal and an extra-time strike) against Kylian Mbappé’s France, culminating a tournament where he scored seven goals, provided three assists, and earned the Golden Ball award as the competition’s best player. Messi’s legendary number 10 jersey and GOAT (Greatest of All Time) designation are celebrated throughout the sweater’s design, honoring his unprecedented record of eight Ballon d’Or awards won in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019, 2021, and 2023—more than any player in history and three more than runner-up Cristiano Ronaldo’s five awards—along with fourteen podium finishes including eleven consecutive top-three placements from 2007 to 2017. This premium holiday jumper serves as the ultimate festive gift for football fans celebrating Argentina’s dramatic World Cup journey that began with a shocking 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia before galvanizing into an unstoppable winning streak through victories over Mexico (2-0), Poland (2-0), Australia (2-1), Netherlands (penalty shootout), and Croatia (3-0) in the semifinal, with Messi’s leadership and extraordinary performances alongside teammates Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez solidifying his legacy as the greatest footballer of all time.​
