Between 2007 and 2010, Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry were superstar teammates on FC Barcelona. The duo helped power Barcelona to a historic 2008–09 treble, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League in the same season. Henry brought veteran finishing and intelligent movement on the left flank, while Messi, transitioning into a more central role, began his ascent into global superstardom—culminating in his first Ballon d’Or in 2009.
Both would later come to North America to play in the MLS. Messi and Henry were not teammates but both are responsible for helping raise the league's profile and expanding the beautiful game's appeal in the United States and Canada.
The duo came together once again on this 2024 Topps Finest MLS Now & Then Dual Autographs Superfractor. The 1/1 features bold ink from both, cast against the backdrop of gold spirals synonymous with Superfractors. This is the first dual autograph of the two legends in an MLS product.
