This photo shows Lionel Messi celebrating after he had scored for Barcelona against Malaga in March 2009 in front of the adoring Nou Camp fans

The photo is one of a limited number of only 35 that were personally hand signed by the Argentinian sensation in Barcelona on April 29, 2009 in a signing session organised and carried out by Icons.

Messi is currently regarded as the best footballer in the world, and, has just inspired Barcelona to a sensational 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League final in Rome. A goal by Samuel Eto'o put the Catalans ahead, and it was followed up by a wonderful Messi header to complete the victory. It means that Barca have become the first side to complete a treble of Champions League, La Liga, and the Copa del Rey. He is also expected to be the biggest star of the 2010 World Cup.

The print is 16 inches by 12 inches and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which features an image of Messi signing the photo.
