Lionel Messi’s World Cup boots have been unveiled, and they have a sweet message on them for his wife and kids.
This is the most important game of the 35-year-old’s career. He wants to lead his country to World Cup gold for the first time since 1986.
The Jules Rimet medal is one of the few awards he hasn’t won in his long and successful career.
Fans got a sneak peek at his shoes for the big game against France in Qatar before the game.
The shot showed the golden boots next to his black and white sliders.
He gave a sweet nod to his wife and three kids, whose names could be seen on his boots.
Ciro Messi is his youngest child. His name and date of birth are stitched on the side of his left boot.
Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife, also has more of the letter “Anto” in her name than Ciro does.
“Thiago 02 11 12” and “Mateo 11 09 15” are the names of his other children and their birthday dates written on the outside of his right boot.
The Argentine star is wearing Adidas X Speedportal Leyenda boots that were made just for him.
For his country, the blue and white parts on the gold shoes are meant to stand out.
There is a pair of sliders with the word “Messi” written on them that goes with the boots.
Messi won the World Cup in the end, after an amazing game that ended 3-3 after extra time.
After extra time, Argentina won 4–2.
