Lionel Messi and the incredible GOAT dice
The Argentine superstar has wowed us in Barcelona, Paris, Qatar and everywhere else he’s played, but someone has turned the tables on impressive skills.
He may be reaching the latter stages of his incredible career but Lionel Messi knows that he will go down as one of, if not the, greatest footballers to have ever graced the game. Having taken his country Argentina to the pinnacle of international competition, winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Messi has won pretty much all that he could have, most notably during his time at FC Barcelona in Spain, playing in arguably the greatest ever side under Pep Guardiola.
Messi: more than a roll of the dice
For all his achievements, both personal and collective, La Pulga has been represented in numerous forms beyond the obvious photo and video montages. One of the most recent of these has been a roll of the dice, or to be more accurate, the careful placement of many dice. Check out the clip below courtesy of diceideas. Impressive stuff!
Of course, given that World Cup triumph, artists have been inspired to capture an image of the little magician in imaginative forms. A considerably larger one seen from high above the fields below.
This design, by agricultural engineer Carlos Faricelli, was made using precision planting, and was shared with several agricultural producers, who planted corn in this way to pay tribute to the football star.
Perfect, they say, for GOATs.
