Recently, the French footballer Marcus Thuram revealed how he gave Messi’s shoe worth. For your information, Marcus Thuram’s father, Lilian Thuram, was also a professional footballer. His father is a World Cup, Euro Cup, and Confederation Cup winner. Whereas, in his club career, he represented four teams, i.e., Monaco, Parma, Juventus, and Barcelona. When he was a part of Barcelona, Messi was also a part of the team, and Marcus was just 10 years old.
In case you missed: “Neymar would’ve won the Ballon d’Or if he stayed at Barcelona,” says Luis Suarez
So here is the story:
When Marcus Thuram was 10 years old, he went to see his father training in Barcelona. Looking at his father, he also wanted to go out and play on the pitch with other children. But he didn’t bring his shoes at that time.
Well, in that situation, Messi was also training and came as an angel to Thuram. Messi gave him his football shoes. Messi was around 19 years old at the time, but their shoe size was almost similar.
So Thuram wore Messi’s shoes and played on the pitch for several minutes. Later, after he finished playing, he went to give Messi’s shoes back to him. But Messi said to him, “Take them.”
At that time, Thuram was 10 and didn’t realize what had happened. The next day, he gave away Messi’s shoe to his friend, which is worth millions of dollars at the moment.
He also concluded by saying,
“I regret it every day.”
Truly, if he had kept those shoes with him, it would have been his biggest flex in life. He would have kept the shoes in his locker or framed them in a golden box.
