While Dybala donated it, Lionel Messi reveals what he did with his World Cup medal

The 2022 World Cup has already been held for almost 9 months and is still causing something to talk about. The victory of the Argentine National Team has left various stories and anecdotes to frame. One of them is precisely what the Argentine team did after achieving glory in said competition. Each of the members of Lionel Scaloni's team received a medal and it is revealed what the team captain, Lionel Messi, did with it.

The World Cup medals represent pure history. In fact, some make the decision to symbolically donate them to a museum, club or institution. Such was the case of Paulo Dybala, current Roma player. “Paulo Dybala has entrusted the club's Historical Archive with the care of the World Cup champion's medal,” wrote the Roman club with the photo of the 29-year-old player with the relic in his hands and the Wolf jersey.

In the case of Lionel Messi, the decision the footballer made was not so different. However, the place where the footballer left it is surprising. At the time of winning the World Cup, Lionel Messi was a Paris Saint-Germain player. However, he confessed that he did not receive any type of recognition after winning the championship. Something that is not so surprising because he went precisely to France and to a star of the club, against whom Messi won the Qatar 2022 final.

Where does Messi have the World Cup medal?

In an interview with Miguel Granados, Lionel Messi, Inter Miami player, revealed that the World Champion medal is in Barcelona, along with the boots and the Ballon d'Ors that he received during his career as an athlete. "I was lucky to win everything, Champions League, Copa América, World Cup", those are the important prizes. On the other hand, individual awards, "although they are a nice recognition, the important ones are the others." It should be remembered that the decision of what to do with said medal depends on each player. Some donate it and others keep it.
