Lionel Messi, the Argentinian International, has been busy gracing headlines lately for all odd reasons, be it his retirement from the international circuit or his involvement in the tax fraud case. However, this time, the reason Messi is making it to the top of the news chart is surely somewhat different from the usual.

Antonella Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife, posted his image on her Instagram account showing Messi with a different hair colour.

History suggests that hairstyles and football have been connected for a long time. The likes of David Beckham, Michael Owen and Fernando Torres, to name a few, are testimony to it.

Consequently, the five time Ballon D’Or winner’s choice of this hairstyle for the coming season was reason enough for social media to make its opinion clear.
