Living Memory: Messi - A Goal in Life is a one-of-a-kind digital artwork created by Lionel Messi and Refik Anadol, bringing together two global icons from the worlds of sport and contemporary art. For the first time, Messi has personally selected the most meaningful goal of his 20-year career — his iconic 2009 Champions League Final header — which Anadol has reimagined as an immersive AI-driven work that blends art, memory, data and emotion. The result is a deeply personal collaboration that invites viewers into a transformative experience of one of football’s most unforgettable moments.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit multiple nonprofits, including Inter Miami CF Foundation’s global partnership with UNICEF, which supports access to quality education programs in five countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The work will be on view at Christie’s New York and offered in a single-lot online auction closing 22 July.

Please note: admission to the exhibition is free with a ticket, which can be picked up at the Christie's entrance.
