Is My Matchworn Lionel Messi Shirt Genuine OR Not...

[@alexanderarmstrong8737]

Never give up on the Messi dream, like how you say Ronny is not to blame I always say good people/companies can make mistakes its all about how they fix those mistakes.

Ronny literally is to blame, he said it was genuine and it quite clearly isn’t

Yep Ronnie is to blame. The cheeky little tinker.

At this stage im hoping that Messi will see this and send you his kit...You deserve it. Your passion for jerseys and football in general is undeniable and never give up on that dream. Keep your head up I really hope you will get your hands on the kit eventually!

I feel so heartbroken for you pal, I’ve followed you throughout the entire journey and it’s been a gripping tale. But behind the story you’re a real human being, a lad who’s roughly a similar age to myself. I could see genuine, genuine upset in that video. I hope you get the outcome you want but first and foremost I hope you are in a good place mentally/psychologically. Just like anybody this is you passion and your work, burnout and depression can happen to anybody. Reach out to the correct people if you ever need to and hopefully the quality content keeps coming. You’re a brilliant bloke pal, Messi shirt or not.

[@joewhite4456]

My question is why someone who's supposedly such an expert in these things would sell you a shirt worth so many thousands without photomatching it

if it costs 800 dollars i assume it would be to expensive for him to do it with every item he buys and resells

[@msweeney5396]

As the buyer why would you not ask for the serial number of the jersey and then try to photo match it before you buy?

[@Glanico10]

Messi is going to literally have to give you his shirt, and then we’ll know it’s genuine. Really hope this sh*t is sorted for you soon.

[@VIDEOCHROMA]

yeah, that's the only way

[@lewispate5498]

argentina kitman did an interview and said he makes 200-300 real shirts which messi gives out per game. guessing that was one of them, also how player could have thought it was the genuine matchworn

[@Freestxne]

It’s such a tricky market. Last year I purchased a ‘match worn’ Vardy poppy shirt from Leicester city themselves for 2.5k from the game at Leeds away and I got a completely different shirt (font around the poppy was black, in game it was white) they then called me up to say Vardy had in fact took the match worn shirt home and sent me a second match prepared one by mistake. They then sent the second shirt out, this time smelling so strong of aftershave (you could smell as soon as the package was opened) , but the shirt was completely clean, too clean. In the game he had put wicks all over his chest too. Also the main sponsor was so slanted around the autograph it was obvious he had signed and they had printed the sponsor around it. The sleeve sponsors were also printed over creases which were not visible in game pictures. In the end I got a refund but just goes to show even the ones you trust the most can do you dirty. Hope everything works out for you.

[@JonnyHyrulian]

Wow, that kinda sucks! Glad you were able to at least get a refund, and good on you for checking!

[@awaydaysfootball]

That is mental from the club! Glad you got a refund

[@Mouldy8028]

Rony the dodgy del boy conman of football shirts!

[@timawn]

Good thing you went through someone with a good reputation and seems like his reputation is being upheld by the way he's dealing with it all 👌🏼🤞🏼

[@elliottdurose]

Are you swapping back the shirt with Ronny? And getting the Aguero one back? I hope you can finally get a match worn Messi shirt, maybe you'll have to actually get Messi to hand give it to you!

[@georgeb7641]

Obviously he will

[@jamiethomas3241]

Ronny should be paying the $799 that Ellis had to fork out only to find it was a fake

[@jack_sim06]

thank you for sharing all your knowledge with me i’ve fell in love with shirts

[@neilbowers6956]

My arms, legs, fingers and eyes are literally crossed for you Ellis. I know how much this shirt means to you. Let’s hope by some miracle this is genuine as I could hear and feel the disappointment in your voice.

More videos please! Always! Rooting for you - we'll all start a Kickstarter if this doesn't work out! We'll get you that shirt!!!!!

[@kicker2511]

I get that Ronny has sold thousands of “match worn” shirts but maybe he’s also sold hundreds or more of inaccurate pieces. Probably not everyone spends the extra $800 to have it photo matched and or has a popular KZbin channel where many more ppl would find out about sale gone wrong with Ronny. I highly doubt this is the first “match worn” shirt he’s sold that wasn’t really match worn, and if it is then you Ellis are one unlucky dude. Bc we are talking about less than one half % of probability.

[@anthonyhharper8512]

Very good point this. Shows just how risky the whole matchworn thing is.

[@jonathanvandijk1818]

when your luck isn't in, it isn't in. hoping you get it sorted, or at least get your money back. it is soul destroying but you never know what's round the corner. stay positive mate and keep us updated.

Never give up on the Messi shirt it is a process the shirt shall come and it will be even more sweeter!!! Keep searching keep making videos on the search Ellis!

[@liamroden1991]

Also I hope you get that Sergio aguero shirt back !!! What a joke that is losing it :/ historic if was a city shirt absolute legend and had to retire :(

[@scottmcnaughton539]

Similar to others, don't give up on chasing this. You're looking for something that is going to be an elite and rare item in 20 years. You're also in the fortunate position where you will chase it down eventually. And the idea that you're letting down your viewers is ludicrous. You've created a space that has dozens of people doing photocopy content. Content creation of any type isn't perfect, but you've grown a hell of a channel and look forward to more of what you put out in the future.

[@CharlieReZa]

Don’t normally comment but just want to say chin up Ellis. I watch and follow your socials for you (and somewhat Jodie/Gibb haha) I even get my missus watching your videos, and it’s not for your Messi hunt. I know you’ll be gutted but use this as motivation to keep at the great content and career ahead of you. Don’t make any rash financial decisions in the near future, and I’m sure you’ll have your hands on a player worn Messi shirt for a fair price.

[@KBrv007]

That neon yellow kit was hideous anyways it will be epic when you get a home matchworn Messi shirt‼️

[@DaveMcc]

Do NOT give up! And yes we need another video with the conclusion. Also what will happen with the Aguero shirt...

Wow Ellis...absolutely gutted for you mate. You'll get there eventually!!

[@1KHC]

At the end of the highlights of the Girona - Barca game on KZbin Messi swaps his shirt with Yasmine Bounou (girona goalkeeper) not stuani, so maybe Messi wore 2 shirts that game and Stuani was given a different Messi shirt than the one used on the picture. Might be a bit of a stretch but worth speculating

[@jack8465]

It cost you $800 to find out the serial numbers don't match?

[@nutmegcityfc]

I’m really sorry Ellis. As an Argentinian and a big fan of Messi I know this sucks really bad. The important thing is that you’ll be able to get your money back. I think with how far your channel is going, I truly believe it’s only going to be a matter of time before you get to meet Messi in person and he’ll give you one himself.

The only way I can think the family believe it’s real is if Messi has spare kits when he swaps shirts so he gave Stuani this one as many people probably ask for his shirt
