We may have golden balls as David Beckham is sometimes known.
Now Argentina has golden foot. Lionel Messi already has an impressive collection of golden
balls himself. The Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player but a jewellery store in
Japan has now given him his own golden foot to match. The Barcelona and Argentina striker
recently had a cast made of his foot and a pure gold model that was made from it was revealed to
the public in Tokyo. Valued at 5.25 million dollars, not quite as much as the real thing,
the golden foot weighs 25 kilos and measures 25 centimetres tall and 28 centimetres wide.
Messi is glad to have his prolific foot recognised.
I'm honoured to have my foot recreated in pure gold.
He wasn't there for the unveiling but his brother Rodrigo was.
Barcelona will need Messi's feet to shine when they play AC Milan in the second leg of their
Champions League round of 16 tie next week. The Catalan giants currently have their work
cut out to reach the quarter-finals after being beaten 2-0 at the San Siro.
