Messi surprises fans with a new hairstyle at the start of 2025

Argentine football legend Lionel Messi continues preparing for the new MLS season with Inter Miami.

In the first months of the year, the Herons have played friendly matches in Paradise, Lima, Panama City, and San Pedro Sula. However, during the most recent match, a noticeable change in Messi’s look became more apparent.

It seems that the star forward, who will turn 38 this year, has decided to grow out his hair. In recent days, he has been seen adjusting his longer hair multiple times as it fell over his eyes. At the end of 2024, the striker sported a noticeably shorter haircut.
