BARCELONA HOME FOOTBALL SHIRT 2000/01 L/S #4 GUARDIOLA *MATCH ISSUE* *SIGNED*

Condition: 8.5/10 - Excellent condition. Colours vibrant, crests pristine. Material superb with a couple of minuscule bobbles and a minuscule hole towards left shoulder (see pictures). Very minimal cracking to name-set. Excellent example. 

 

Notes: Ultra-rare player version, featuring long-sleeves, issued and possibly worn by footballing icon Pep Guardiola.

 

Match issue features include long-sleeved design, correct player size print, LFP and Centenary '1899-1999' sleeve patch professionally heat pressed. No Dri-Fit motif to sleeves, a feature that can be seen on replicas. 

 

The shirt also features a hand-signed message from Pep Guardiola which reads: "Mi Carmine, Petous", translating from Catalonian to: "Dear Carmine, Best Wishes". The message is signed off by Pep Guardiola's official signature. 

 

Please note that, although the message is hand-signed and signature belongs to Guardiola, the shirt does not have a certificate of authenticity. The features show that this was a shirt made and issued to Guardiola for a game, so although unknown, it is possible that this was worn and signed post-match.
