Newell's Old Boys have immortalized the name of their star academy graduate.
Details: The Old Boys management announced their decision to name one of the stadium's stands after Lionel Messi!
It is reported that the honor goes to the upper stand on the stadium's north side, with a capacity of around 7,000 spectators.
Remarkably, this stand is situated directly opposite the Diego Maradona Stand—meaning that now, two legendary names in Argentine football will "face" each other during matches.
Photos circulating online already show the reconstruction process in full swing, featuring Messi's initials prominently displayed.
For Newell's, this gesture is not just a sign of admiration and respect for Messi, but also a direct invitation for Leo to return and finish his illustrious career at his home club.
