Messi’s Stylish Arrival

After Inter Miami’s tough loss to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 Leagues Cup final, Lionel Messi traveled to Buenos Aires to join the Argentina national team camp. The Rosario-born star shared an Instagram story that quickly went viral: his arrival in the country with an impeccable look — and, above all, a bag that drew plenty of attention.

The Expensive Bag

Messi carried a Hermes Haut à Courroies Cargo 40, a piece not listed in the French brand’s official collection and considered one of the most exclusive items on the market. Its price varies depending on the source: on Joli Closet it’s listed at €41,546, on 1stdibs it’s valued at $99,000, and on JaneFinds it’s priced at $65,000.

The detail didn’t go unnoticed among fans, who not only commented on the rarity of the accessory but also on its staggering price. A luxury statement that proves Messi shines not only on the pitch but also off it.

The Leagues Cup Setback

On the sporting side, Messi is coming off an unexpected blow. The Seattle Sounders defeated Inter Miami 3-0 in the final with goals from Osaze de Rosario, Alex Roldán, and Paul Rothrock, securing their second international trophy after the 2022 Concacaf Champions League. While Messi’s team fell short of the title, they did secure their spot in the 2026 Champions Cup, though they’ll start from the first round.

Preparing for His Farewell in Argentina

Now, Messi’s focus is on the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, where Argentina will face Venezuela in Buenos Aires and Ecuador in Quito. The clash at the Monumental could mark his last official match in Argentina with the Albiceleste — a night filled with emotion, in which the No. 10 will take the field with style, records, and the unwavering admiration of his people.
