Lionel Messi has spent £185k to buy 35 personalised gold iPhones for his Argentina World Cup-winning team and members of staff.
Messi scored twice in Argentina’s remarkable World Cup final victory over France and also found the net in the dramatic penalty shootout at the end of the encounter. It ensured Argentina lifted the trophy for the first time since 1986.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar’s achievements saw him named the best player in the world for 2022 in FIFA’s The Best awards during a glittering ceremony in France on Monday evening as he pipped club teammate Kylian Mbappe to the top prize.
