The Prize

Win this maroon FC Barcelona home shirt, issued/worn by the Argentinian striker Lionel Messi during a match against Getafe on the 36th day of the 2013/14 season of the Liga Spagnola championship.

The game played at Nou Camp in Barcellona on May 3, 2014 ended in a 2-2 tie: the double by Lafita cancelled out Alexis Sanchez's and Messi's goals.

The shirt presents a special detail on the chest in honor of Tito Villanova: heart and soul of the Catalan team, Villanova assumed the technical leadership of the Barca after Pep Guardiola left.

On February 3, 2013 he took a leave of absence from the maroon bench due to a parotid gland tumor. He won the 2012-2013 Liga with Barcellona. In the summer of 2013 he left the club definitively following a relapse of his illness confirmed by new analyses. On April 24, 2014 he was urgently operated on for a return of the tumor, but passed away the following day.

Short-sleeve, maroon home shirt
Barcellona emblem sewn on chest
Sponsored by Nike
Tito Per Sempre Etern applique on chest
Liga Spagnola Patch applique on right sleeve
Intel Sponsor applique inside
Sublimation-printed internal label
Name and number in thin plastic applique

The Cause

Live Charity is an Italian nonprofit organization created in June, 2008 by Andrea Zalamena with the participation of the soccer players Alessandro Lambrughi (former Livorno defender for six years) and Giacomo Bindi. Many soccer players have been involved in the charity over the years (Leonardo Bonucci, Pasquale Schiattarella, Miralem Pjanic, Daniele Rugani, Matteo Bruscagin, Elia Legati, Ermanno Fumagalli, Davide Di Quinzio, Alvaro Morata and many others), serving as the charity's testimonials.

Monza-based Live Charity has been helping sports associations and local schools in the northern Italian towns of Monza and Brianza by donating defibrillators and sports equipment, and redoing fields.

Recently, Live Charity has been donating defibrillators for its project "Cuore Batticuore - Un Defibrillatore per la Vita" aimed at having a defibrillator on every field.
