The Argentinian superstar wore a pink shirt at the 2024 New Year party.
Lionel Messi is enjoying his Christmas and New Year 2024 vacation in his hometown of Argentina. This is also the longest winter break in the career of the superstar born in 1987. The reason is because Inter Miami was not able to participate in the play-off round to compete for the MLS championship.
In a photo taken with his family to welcome the new year, Messi wears a striking pink T-shirt. “Messi seems to be a fan of pink outfits. In addition to the Inter Miami jersey, he often wears pink outfits when going out,” Goal describes.
Recently, Messi received an honor when the Argentine Football Federation decided to retire the number 10 shirt after he retired: “When Messi retires from the national team, we will not let anyone else wear the number 10 shirt after This number 10 will hang forever in honor of Messi. It’s the least we can do for him.”
Previously, AFA also honored Messi by renaming the training center “Casa de Ezeiza” to “Lionel Andres Messi,” based on the name of the current Argentina captain.
Messi went through a difficult time, even having to quit the team because he couldn’t stand the pressure after two consecutive defeats in the Copa America final. However, “El Pulga” came back strongly to help “Albicelestes” return to the top with the South American championship, Intercontinental Super Cup, and world crown in Qatar in 2022.
At the tournament taking place in the Middle East, the former PSG striker contributed 7 goals and 3 assists in the journey to winning the World Cup championship. This performance also helped him win the World Cup Golden Ball for the second time in his career and the France Football Golden Ball for the eighth time.
Messi will rest until the end of January, then join Inter Miami in a series of friendly matches in Saudi Arabia, meeting Al Hilal and Al Nassr respectively. The match that caught the world’s attention between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo took place on February 2.
This is likely to be the last time these two superstars compete on the field. Before that, in the match against Al Hilal, Messi will not be able to meet his close brother Neymar again. The Brazilian striker is recovering from surgery and can only return in August this year at the earliest.
