Lionel Messi spends £185k on personalised gifts for World Cup winning teammates

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.
