Torn Maradona Barcelona Shirt From 1984 Bernabéu Brawl Leads Matchday’s Online Auction

Visible damage together with a documented locker-room chain of custody serve as proof of authenticity.

Overview

  • Matchday Football Auctions set a 30‑day online sale for October 28–November 28, 2025, featuring more than 20 Maradona items.
  • The 1984 Copa del Rey final shirt is presented with neck tears, a horizontal cut and fabric rips that the house highlights as match evidence.
  • A Barcelona laundry worker rescued the jersey after the game, it remained in her family for decades, and it is now consigned for sale.
  • El Correo reports a starting price of about US$30,000 (roughly €26,000) for the torn shirt, which Matchday is offering as an exception to its usual policy on damaged kits.
  • Other lots include shirts from Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors and Napoli, Maradona’s farewell‑match earrings, and a 1981 Boca commemorative plaque, with market context referencing the US$8 million sale of his Mexico ’86 jersey.
