Lionel Messi's Adidas F50 match issued boots. This special made to measure
boots were issued during the season 2008. Both boots are personalized with
"Leo 19", "Messi 19" and a flag of Lionel's homeland argentina. After David
Beckham, Franz Beckenbauer and Uwe Seeler, Lionel Messi is only the fourth
player to receive a personal adidas football boot. Messi received several Ballon
d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age of 21, and won in
2009 and 2010. His playing style and small stature has drawn comparisons to
Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi as his "successor." Messi has won
five La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, scoring in two of those finals,
against Manchester United in both 2009 and 2011.
