The last tango: the boots Lionel Messi will wear at the World Cup | OneFootball

Shortly before beginning his sixth and final World Cup appearance, La Pulga unveiled his new kit, with details that revisit his past and celebrate his present as the best player in the world.

With his sixth World Cup appearance just around the corner, Lionel Messi revealed what will be his new boots for the tournament, with a more than fitting name: “The Last Tango.”

In a presentation that traces the different moments of La Pulga’s career, the Argentina captain posed with his new boots, which feature a futuristic design, but with echoes of the past. In this way, innovative details are mixed with others that recall the early days of the Rosario-born star, while the white color, along with sky blue and gold accents, evokes the Argentine flag.

Although the World Cup will begin on June 11, Lionel Scaloni’s team will not make its debut until the 16th, against Algeria, in Kansas City. There, Messi will begin not only the quest to defend the title won in Qatar 2022, but also the beginning of the end for La Pulga at a World Cup, after an illustrious career that has established him as the best player in the world and one of the greatest of all time.
