Lionel Messi just went platinum blond and the internet lost its cool
Lionel Messi comeback on the football field was definitely going to get him a lot of attention, but with his new look, he made sure all eyes and cameras were on him.
Considered to be one of the best footballers ever, Messi hit the field again (after announcing his retirement from the national team) with his Barcelona teammates ahead of their friendly with Celtic this weekend. What became the talking point of this training session was Messi’s new, and somewhat bizarre hairdo.
Messi’s dramatic makeover was first revealed by his partner Antonella Roccuzzo on her Instagram page with the hashtag #blondeboy. It took internet by storm and sent his fans in a tizzy. Here are some of the many reactions Messi’s platinum blond look received.
If only Messi spent as much time doing his tax’s as dying his hair “Phil Jones white” he’d be sailing.
