Lionel Messi and Adidas have unveiled the Argentine star's special farewell shirt with the national team, a special design that also features a symbolic detail hidden in the legendary number 10.
In the part of the number that has become synonymous with Messi's career, two goat horns have been integrated, a direct reference to the epithet "GOAT", "Greatest of All Time", with which the Argentine has been identified for years.
Adidas has conceived the jersey as a tribute to Messi's legacy with the Argentina national team, combining the symbolism of the number 10 with one of the footballer's most famous nicknames.
The detail of the two horns is intended as a special element for fans, giving the jersey another symbolic dimension and directly linking it to the status that Messi has achieved throughout his career.
The jersey will remain linked to a special moment in the Argentine captain's adventure with the national team. October 6th is marked as one of the important dates for one of the greatest figures in football history.
Beyond the design, the number 10 remains the symbol of an entire era of Argentine football, while the hidden detail within it turns the jersey into a tribute to Messi's legacy.
