Lionel Messi’s left limb is arguably the most talked about piece of football news in the world, be it the wondrous goals which come off it or the incredible tattoos it sports. But Lionel Messi has completely overhauled that gifted left leg which had a combination of footballs, flowers and swords inked onto it.

This is how the tattoos looked earlier

The tattoo now sports his No. 10 squad number and the name of his eldest son Thiago.

The Argentinean is back with the national squad after announcing his retirement recently. He will be a part of the team which will take on Brazil in the world cup qualifiers in Belo Horizonte.

Argentina is currently 5th in the group and is in dire need of a win after a winless three game streak. Let’s hope that the newly inked limb can bring back the Messi magic on field for Argentina!
