Lionel Messi’s white and light-weight blue iconic Argentina jersey was worn at his crowning second simply earlier than the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani handed him the trophy. Bisht is a garment manufactured from camel’s hair and goat’s wool worn on particular events in Arab nations. It is a garment worn by royalty or non secular leaders and the second Messi lifted the trophy was seen as icing on the cake for Qatar.
For the best footballer of this technology and one who will go down in historical past as one of many biggest, carrying a robe that partially conceals Argentina’s jersey, it could possibly be known as a coup of types.
Amir was accompanied by FIFA President Gianni Infantino as Bisht draped over Messi.
However, as he lifted the trophy and the staff image was clicked, Messi was seen with out Bisht and carrying an Argentina jersey with three stars on it – to indicate the 1978, 1986 and 2022 titles.
