Argentina champion: Messi megamurals in Buenos Aires

In Argentina the festivities and celebrations continue for the victory of the Albiceleste at the World Cup in Qatar.

In addition to the fans who still celebrate in the street, there are the first artistic celebrations for the third world title, 36 years after that of Mexico 1986.

    Thus in Buenos Aires, in the Palermo district on the corner between Gorriti and Darwin, it was inaugurated a 30-square-metre mural depicting captain Leo Messi, wearing the now famous black and gold Bisht that was placed on his shoulders shortly before the trophy was handed over, as he lifts the World Cup to the sky.

To act as a 'frame' for number 10, there are, as was the case last Sunday, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Paulo Dybala and Rodrigo De Paul.

    According to reports from the Argentine press, the mural measures 6 meters high by 5 wide and required the use of 60 different spray paints.

The street artist Maximiliano Bagnasco created the work, the same one who, months ago, left Russia where he was on business, and returned to his homeland to create another megamurals, this time with the image of Diego Maradona with the jersey of the national team that covers the 40 meters of the entire facade of a building located in Canning, a suburb of the capital and that the passengers of the aircraft taking off from the Ezeiza international airport cannot help but notice due to the of its size.

    Maximiliano Bagnasco was also in Italy, and the beautiful mural created in Pompeii in the street that bears the name of the former 'Pibe de Oro' is also his.
