Published just ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the image provides a visual journey through the various kits worn by the legendary captain since his World Cup debut in 2006.
The collage highlights the evolution of Argentina’s home and away kits across six consecutive World Cups, featuring the different designs and squad numbers worn by Messi.

Messi, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Guillermo Ochoa, became the first three players in history to participate in six consecutive FIFA World Cups during their careers.
Accompanying the graphic is the message "Let's go for one more, LEGEND!", building anticipation for the 2026 World Cup where Argentina will compete as defending champions. The post has sparked nostalgia among fans, with many reminiscing about their favorite classic kits from Messi's international career, particularly the 2006 and 2014 editions.
