THE BIGGER PICTURE: This is not the first time that Messi has taken over the walls of Buenos Aires. GOAL, in collaboration with Boedo Artistic Group, created a mural in honour of the forward earlier this year. Moreover, an Argentine artist named Maxi Bagnasco, had also offered his tribute to the player with a mural where Messi is seen holding the trophy aloft, dressed in a Bisht, while Emiliano Martinez is behind him with his arms raised in joy.

WHAT NEXT? Messi has already announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain and is reportedly deciding on his next challenge with offers from Barcelona, Saudi Arabia and MLS outfit Inter Miami on his plate.
