L. Messi revealed the reason why he became a blonde

"Barcelona" leader Lionel Messi recently caused a stir on the internet by changing his hair color. Finally, the forward agreed to reveal the reason for the changes.

When he finally faced such a question, the captain of the Argentine national team hinted that it was part of how he coped with another defeat in the "Copa America" final.

Let's remind that the striker had even decided to step down from the national team after those matches. However, under pressure from fans, he changed his mind.

"On an exceptionally difficult day, I dyed my hair because I needed to start everything anew. I told myself, 'I need to take a break and start over,'" Messi said on the Argentine television show Polemica en el bar.

In the same interview, the 29-year-old athlete also admitted that his son Thiago is not currently passionate about football. However, Messi still hopes that his son will develop this love as he starts training at the club.
