Maradona’s 1984 Barcelona Shirt Heads Matchday Auction Running Oct. 28–Nov. 28

The brawl-torn jersey anchors a 30-day online sale of 20-plus authenticated items tied to the Argentine icon’s career.

Overview

  • Matchday Football Auctions announced a monthlong online sale from October 28 to November 28, 2025 featuring more than twenty Maradona items.
  • The centerpiece is the Barcelona shirt worn in the 1984 Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club, associated with the so-called Battle of the Bernabéu.
  • The auction house says the jersey has a torn collar and a horizontal cut from the post-match melee, details it cites to support authenticity.
  • Provenance presented by the house traces the shirt from a Barcelona laundress to the current owner’s family, where it was kept for over four decades.
  • Coverage notes strong collector interest and references a prior record sale of his 1986 World Cup shirt, reported inconsistently as €7.9 million or $8 million.
