‘Argentina, I love you’ – Lionel Messi sends message to fans amid plans for his face to appear on Argentinian bank note to commemorate World Cup win


Lionel Messi could have his face all over Argentina with the football star set to be the face of a new bank note.

According to El Financiero, officials at the South American country’s financial governing body are looking to commemorate their historic World Cup victory.

With Messi famous for wearing the number 10 jersey, it’s tipped that he could be the face of the 1000 pesos note, equivalent to just under £5.

It’s also suggested that on the back of the note it will say ‘La Scaloneta’ – the nickname of Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni.

This comes after Argentina’s Central Bank introduced commercial coins to commemorate the country’s first World Cup victory back in 1978, something that they’re looking to emulate for the present day team as they continue their celebrations.

Messi and his Argentina have been enjoying a heck of a reception in their homeland as they celebrated their victory over France on Sunday.

As you’d expect, the 35-year-old has been the star attraction after cementing his status as one of the greatest players of all time following his instrumental role in the victory over France in Qatar.

Lapping up the adoration of the Argentine public, Messi took to social media to share a series of photos with a heartfelt message, which read: “Don’t try to figure it out.

Argentina, through the good and the bad, TE AMO,” which translates to ‘I love you’.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
