A statue of Argentinian national team star Lionel Messi was vandalized at the entrance of the El Nuevo Mundial cafe in Mar del Plata. Unknown individuals broke the footballer's statue in two, which caused a strong reaction among the local population.
The sculpture is dedicated to the Argentina national team's victory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, in which Messi is depicted in national team form and with a World Cup trophy. This special statue acknowledges Messi's success, which has captivated all of Argentinian football. However, this statue has been a victim of vandalism before, as its head was separated in 2024.
The public was upset that some unknown individuals engaged in such actions and attempted to tarnish Messi's reputation among people. The possibility of identifying the incident and restoring the monument is being assessed. Argentina and football fans are taking this situation seriously and are deciding to fight against this attack on football culture.
