Lionel Messi, who guided Argentina to triumph in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has gifted gold iPhones to every member of his team and support staff.
According to a report in The Sun, the 24-carat devices, worth £175,000 (around Rs. 1.73 crore), have the player’s names, jersey numbers and the Argentinian logo engraved on them.
The maestro had them delivered to his Parisian apartment last week.
Argentina edged out France on penalties in the final to end a 36-year wait for their third World Cup title.
It was also Messi’s maiden World Cup triumph after having lost to Germany 0-1 after extra time in the final of the 2014 edition.
