Lionel Messi spotted wearing ultra-rare pink Rolex Daytona ‘Barbie' worth £700k… and only TEN exist in the whole world
The Inter Miami star flexed the incredible timepiece as he saw his side draw 0-0 with Cincinnati on Saturday night.

Messi, 38, was not on the pitch as he was serving a one-match ban for skipping Major League Soccer's All-Star game last week.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner instead sat in the stands alongside his son Thiago, 12, in a stylish white shirt and beige shorts.
But it was the stunning Rolex Daytona "Barbie" that stole the show.
The incredible watch is built using a pink sapphire diamond, which matches the Inter Miami home kit, and features 18 carat yellow gold.
Reports suggest that only ten of the luxury accessory have been made by Rolex.
It is not available to buy anywhere and the prestigious watch brand have never advertised the piece.
They instead are believed to have contacted their most valued clients that are "deemed worthy of getting The Call from The Crown".
Celebs are said to have paid around £310,000 for the watch.
And if any of the ten where to become available on the market, they are likely to sell for £700,000 or higher.
The only other Rolex Daytona "Barbie" to be spotted was on the wrist of actor Mark Wahlberg.
Lionel Messi looks embarrassed as he and wife Antonela are shown on Coldplay kiss cam at Miami concert
After cheering on Inter Miami at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Messi and his family went to a Coldplay concert.
He was joined by his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons.
Messi hit the headlines at the gig after an awkward moment when they were shown on the kiss cam.
The couple did not kiss nor did they recreate the meme like many others had done of married Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR employee Kristin Cabot trying to duck out the way of the camera amid an alleged affair.

MLB power rankings: Marlins have been best team in baseball
But there's one team - the Milwaukee Brewers - that's played as well as the Marlins since June 13, when they began a roll that's now at 30 wins in 44 games and resulted in them being very much alive rather than a carcass to be picked over at the July 31 trade deadline. Heck, they even held onto franchise bulwark Sandy Alcantara, which may or may not portend positive things for a winter to build upon this surprise season. Miami's pitching staff leads the majors in WHIP (1.06) and the NL in ERA (3.16) since June 27, a 31-game stretch. For now, though, the Marlins have zoomed up four more spots in USA TODAY Sports' power rankings - and are even loitering on the fringes of the NL wild-card race, six games out but with three teams to pass. But if they keep up this pace, there's no ceiling that can stop them. A look at our updated rankings: 1. Milwaukee Brewers (+2) Banged out a franchise-record 56 hits in three-game sweep of Nationals. All-Star Game headed to Wrigley in 2027. Which uniform will Kyle Tucker be wearing? Don't look now, but Max Scherzer has struck out 16, walked none and won each of his past two starts. 4. Detroit Tigers (-) Can they unlock a closer-like performance from newly acquired Kyle Finnegan? Jhoan Duran's dominant stuff accompanied his personal intro on trip from Minnesota to Philly. Max Muncy is ready to return, with Tommy Edman likely replacing him on the IL. 7. New York Mets (-2) Cedric Mullins will fit very snugly on their playoff roster. Has anyone ever rebutted A.J. Preller when he simply asked, "Why not?" 9. Houston Astros (-1) Carlos Correa still eight days away from playing his first home game at Minut-, errr, Daikin Park since Game 6 of the 2021 World Series. Once again, a pretty lame deadline, but Steven Matz is low-key a useful bullpen piece. 11. Seattle Mariners (+2) Big series win against a Rangers team suddenly right in their way. 12. New York Yankees (-3) Hard for Brian Cashman to blame Aaron Boone when the players he acquired blew up in the skipper's face. Survived the Speedway semi-debacle. Will rest of season be a red flag? Jacob deGrom the fastest to 1,800 strikeouts in both innings (1,493 1/3 ) and games (240). 15. San Francisco Giants (-) A "soft sell" at the deadline, if you will, but now they're back at .500. One more run in 'em? 16. Miami Marlins (+4) Kyle Stowers with a shot at 40 homers. 17. Cleveland Guardians (+1) You'd think Emmanuel Clase would be the cautionary tale that gets ballplayers' attention. 18. St. Louis Cardinals (-2) .500 looking like their destiny. 19. Kansas City Royals (-) Mike Yastrzemski kind of a nice "Why the hell not?" pickup. 20. Tampa Bay Rays (-7) Have now lost 11 of 16 since break. 21. Los Angeles Angels (+1) Taylor Ward now with a career-high 26 home runs, his latest a walk-off. The Jordan Montgomery Era really was something. Like many Americans, they're struggling to be debt-free. The deadline decimated entire roster, but lineup has responded; bullpen has not. Don't think anyone will complain if someone calls the Speedway trophy "a piece of metal." 26. Athletics (-1) Just 23 wins in Yolo County; only Rockies, Nationals have fewer at home. The trade of moderate success story Bailey Falter was moderately depressing. 28. Washington Nationals (-) Run differential now minus-134; only Rockies (-277) are worse. 29. Chicago White Sox (-) Luis Robert is still here.

Charity shop worker floored after receiving unusual donation 'worth thousands'
A charity shop worker was left stunned after a man donated hundreds of vintage Barbie dolls and accessories, but fans of the Mattel toys were saddened for one heart-breaking reason Charity shops are a great place to find bargains, and lots of thrifty shoppers love to share their hauls on social media. However, volunteers in the industry also like to show off some of the incredible donations they receive. One charity shop worker, Bella, was left gobsmacked by the size and value of a generous contribution from a member of the public. Unable to hide her shock, the volunteer admitted on TikTok: "This father and son just walked into my work and donated their grandma's whole Barbie collection since she passed away." Bella revealed that her video didn't show "even half" of the dolls the shop received. "She had her own collectors' encyclopaedia which was marked up with tabs of which ones she had," Bella added of the huge collection. Recording footage in the shop, Bella began by offering a glimpse of dozens of vintage boxed Barbie dolls, many of which appeared to be still sealed. From a Coca Cola edition of Soda Fountain Sweetheart Barbie from 1996 to the Sentimental Valentine Barbie from the same year, each item was in pristine condition, complete with accessories. A third 1996 edition followed in the form of Barbie at Bloomindales, as well as a Graduation Barbie from the year after. Next, Bella revealed an Avon exclusive collaboration with Mattel in the form of Winter Rhapsody Barbie (also 1996) as well as a number of other Special Occasion dolls from the same decade. Collaborations with American retailers Target and Chuck E. Cheese were documented next, along with earlier 1990s editions of Enchanted Evening Barbie and Got Milk Barbie. Bella was far from finished, however, providing her followers with a peek of countless more Barbie dolls - notably Holiday Memories Barbie, Barbie as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Oreo Fun Barbie and Baywatch Barbie. The video viral, amassing more than 1.1million views at the time of writing and leaving some Barbie fans in awe - while others pointed out a rather tragic observation. "This collection was supposed to be handed down to a granddaughter or daughter, this is so wrong," expressed one TikTok user. A second concurred: "As time passes and their grief settles, I'm sure they'll regret doing that." A third person vented: "This makes me so sad. It feels like these were a reflection of all the women she could have been if she hadn't been stuck raising an ungrateful family." Meanwhile a fourth TikTok user aptly pointed out: "This is exactly the message the Barbie Movie was trying to get across. They're just Ken's, they don't understand!" Responding more positively, meanwhile, one individual remarked: "How nice that they donated these though, and didn't just throw them away. My guess is that they didn't have anyone in their family to appreciate them as much as your charity does." And another pondered: "Donated? Instead of selling them? They are good people." Whilst a third noted: "That collection looks priceless - I bet Mattel would be interested in it. That should be in a museum or a school where kids can play with them. That collection was meant for someone."
