FIFA World Cup 2022 winning captain Lionel Messi has decided to gift a special present to his champion team Argentina and its support.
The football legend splashed out £175,000 on 35 gold iPhones for his World Cup-winning team and their staff.
The cost of 175,000 British Pounds in Kenyan Shillings today is KSh26,535,941.10 according to the “Open Exchange Rates.
The Argentinian star commissioned the 24-carat devices for every member of the winning squad and had them delivered to his Parisian apartment on Saturday.
Each phone has the player’s name, number, and Argentinian logo engraved on it.
Last night a source said: “Lionel wanted to do something special and blingy to celebrate his proudest moment.
Ben, CEO of iDesign Gold, said: “Lionel is not only the Goat but he’s one of IDESIGN GOLD’s most loyal customers and got in touch with us a couple of months after the World Cup final.
Argentina triumphed in Qatar last year — with Messi, 35, named Player of the Tournament.
Argentina won their third FIFA World Cup in Qatar when they defeated France in an absolute nail-biter.
They won the high-voltage game in penalties. Argentina’s wait for the world cup ended. Maradona’s prodigal son finally fulfilled his destiny.
This was the first time in 20 years that a non-European team has lifted the World Cup. Argentina’s 2022 World Cup campaign has been nothing else but legendary.
It is the Lusail Stadium where Argentina suffered a massive heartbreak at the hands of Saudi Arabia in their opening game, but their resurgence in the tournament is something that generations will talk about forever.
