Christie’s and Inter Miami CF present a partnership for the ages — between global football icon Lionel Messi and the ground-breaking contemporary artist Refik Anadol to produce an unprecedented work of art.

For the very first time, Messi has selected the most meaningful goal of his legendary 20-year career — his unforgettable header against Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final. That iconic moment is now being reimagined by Anadol in an immersive, AI-driven artwork that merges match data, biometric signals and emotional memory to redefine the boundaries of art, technology and sport.

Christie's will host an online auction of the artwork from July 8 to 22, with all proceeds benefiting 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.
