It was a wonderful end for Argentina at the World Cup final in Qatar as they beat France 4-2 on penalties after the scores were levelled 3-3 at extra time. Argentina did not have the best of starts to the World Cup campaign as they were beaten 2-1 in their first game. But the Lionel Messi led side went on to win the World Cup.

Now, Messi has got a special gift to distribute to his Argentina teammates. As per a report in the Sun, the phones are Gold iphones and also are 24-carat gold devices worth £175,000 (Approx Rs. 1.73 crore). The phones also have the players’ numbers, their names and the Argentina Logo carved on them. Messi had the electronic goods delivered to his apartment on Saturday.

Lionel is the GOAT in Football – Ben

“Lionel wanted to do something special and blingy to celebrate his proudest moment. He got in touch with entrepreneur Ben Lyons and they came up with the design together. The Sun was quoted as saying. “Lionel is not only the Goat but he’s one of IDESIGN GOLD’s most loyal customers and got in touch with us a couple of months after the World Cup final. He said he wanted a special gift for all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win but didn’t want the usual gift of watches. Ben CEO of i design Gold said.

“So, I suggested gold iPhones inscribed with their names and he loved the idea.” he added. Messi finally got his dream of getting his hands in a World Cup trophy after he narrowly missed out in the 2014 World Cup when Argentina lost to Germany and were runners up. Messi also has a high net worth and is a sports person who has lucrative brand deals. His rival Cristiano Ronaldo did not have the best of campaigns in Qatar.

Cristiano Ronaldo, along with Portugal, crashed out of the quarterfinals of the World Cup at Qatar. Ronaldo, later, left Manchester United and went to the Arabian football circles and signed a very lucrative deal with Al Nassr. Messi has been one of the greatest players in football.
