A new Lionel Messi monument in Neuquén has reportedly become the tallest Messi statue on the planet, surpassing the 21 meter GOAT figure in India.
The work was created by artist Aldo Beroisa. Reports indicate the piece has surpassed the 21 meter GOAT statue in India, which had previously held the height record among Messi monuments.
Fans tracking Messi's global footprint will likely see the Neuquén unveiling as another public show of support from Argentina during a high profile international run. The scale of the statue could keep it in conversation as one of the most visible tributes tied to the player.
