Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has lifted many gold trophies, including two Golden Boots. Now the prolific goal-scorer's foot has been cast in solid gold.
A pure gold replica of Barcelona football star Lionel Messi's left foot, worth £3.4 million, was
unveiled in Tokyo on Wednesday.
Valued at US$5.25 million (£3.4m), the golden foot weighs 25kg and is 10 inches tall.
In a video message, Lionel Messi said he was honoured to have his foot cast the precious metal.
Lionel Messi's brother, Rodrigo Messi, who attended the news conference for the unveiling of the foot, said the replica was exceptional.
"You can see each line on the foot. Its an impressive piece of work," Rodrigo said.
