Lionel Messi’s Qatar hotel room could be turned into a museum following his World Cup heroics as he took home the Golden Ball while firing Argentina to glory.
The 35-year-old, who may well have cemented his status as the greatest player of all time following Argentina’s win over France on penalties, stayed in room B201 at the Qatar University in Doha.
According to journalist Achraf Ben Ayad, Messi’s room, which he shared with Sergio Aguero towards the end of the tournament, will be turned into a small museum.
Fans of Messi will be hoping a potential statue of their hero will be better than some past efforts, including a 2022 World Cup likeness that wasn’t much of a likeness at all.
The museum might well give visitors an insight into how Messi spent his down time while dragging Argentina into the final against France which they won on penalties.
