Lionel Messi became the 2022 World Cup champion in Qatar and not only brought joy to his country, Argentina, but also to millions of fans who love and admire him all over the planet.
Messi is the character of the year, and he will surely receive dozens of awards for the stamp he has put on an incredible career, which is lifting the highest trophy for a footballer: world champion.
And of course, in a matter of tributes, Colombia might not be left behind, a country that has respect and admiration for him, and where he showed himself to the world for the first time with the albiceleste shirt, in the 2005 South American U-20 Tournament.
In Envigado, Antioquia, they made a balloon with the largest inflatable shirt in the world in honor of Messi and his title of world champion in Qatar 2022.
The jersey is 20 meters long (neck to waist) and 17 meters wide (sleeve to sleeve). After being inflated, the uniform served as a “soccer field” for children to play on.
