Its been over 2 months since Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022 at Qatar and made La Albiceleste 3-time World champions. It was also the South American outfit’s first WC title since 1986 when a team led by Diego Maradona defeated West Germany by 3-2 at Mexico.
Messi after failing to deliver in 2014 (the closest he got) and 2018 received the ultimate crowning after a thrilling final against France. The PSG forward scored Thrice in the match (23rd min, 108th min & during shootout) while opposing number 7 Kylian Mbappe bagged a wonderful hat-trick in 120 minutes and also scored his respective penalty.
Meanwhile, entering his 3rd month as the World champion, Lionel Messi has reportedly ordered 35 gold plated Iphones for each and every member of the team who helped him fulfill his destiny. According to sources, the 7-time Ballon D’or winner wanted to do something absolutely different and very special for all the staff.
He did not want his gift to be regular presents like Watches, thus he sat down with the CEO of iDesign Gold Ben to discuss about all the possible gifts. Ben suggested Messi to give them gold plated Iphones with Names, Jersey number of the players alongside the Argentinian logo engraved on the back.
