(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 02 - A special gift for each of the 26 teammates and staff members, a total of 35 people, to thank them for their victory at the World Cup in Qatar.
A generous Lionel Messi thus wanted to pay homage to the national champion: according to what is reported by 'Clarin' also with photos, on the occasion of the 'The Best' award of Fifa, Messi received a visit in Paris from Benjamin Lyons, patron of 'IndesignGold', a company luxury accessories of which la Pulce, as Lyons himself recounted, has been a customer for some time.
The Argentina captain has decided to give his teammates, coach Scaloni and staff members an I-Phone 14 with a gold case on which the Argentina coat of arms is engraved with the stars of the World Cup won, the writing "World Cup Champions2022", everyone's name and, in the case of players, the shirt number they wore to the World Cup.
In all, according to reports from the Argentine press, Messi would have spent 175,000 pounds sterling, equal to about 200,000 euros.
Messi intends to deliver gifts to the other Albiceleste players on the occasion of the gathering that will precede this month's friendlies, Argentina's first matches after the victory in Qatar, on the 23rd in Buenos Aires (Monumental stadium) against Panama and on the 28th in Santiago del Estero against Curaçao.
