LAGOS JUNE 27TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Soccer legend Lionel Messi was honored with an 85-foot statue in his home country of Argentina (in the small town of Cutral Có, in the country’s Patagonia region), marking the biggest Messi statue ever made.
However, the pose that Messi is in for the statue is raising eyebrows, especially when combined with what’s placed right in front of him.

The statue has Messi on his knees, with a replica of the World Cup trophy (which Messi won in 2022) in front of him. Messi is seen smiling, with one hand over his heart and another hand held high in the air.
While the statue looks decent enough from up front, the angle from behind is what’s causing it to go viral for all the wrong reasons.
Several social media posts showing all the angles of this statue have gone viral, with one amassing over 8 million views on X in about 12 hours.
