Throwback 2006 Lionel Messi #19 Argentina Home Soccer Jersey

Lionel Messi wore #19 for Argentina at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany — his debut World Cup at 18 years old, coming on as a substitute and scoring against Serbia and Montenegro to become Argentina's youngest-ever World Cup scorer. The 2006 Argentina squad was filled with established stars including Riquelme, Crespo, Aimar and Cambiasso, and Messi was a peripheral figure — but every time he touched the ball, the watching world understood they were seeing something different from everything around him.

Argentina reached the quarter-finals before losing to the host nation Germany on penalties. Messi's World Cup journey from #19 substitute in 2006 to #10 captain lifting the trophy in 2022 is one of sport's most complete redemption and perseverance narratives. The 2006 home #19 throwback is the very beginning of that story — a teenager at his first World Cup, wearing a number that would soon give way to one of the most famous #10s in history.
