Messi, a seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, led Argentina to the World Cup final. They won by defeating France 4-2 on penalties. The celebrations in the Latin American country were nonstop.

Many people have praised Messi for his amazing performance in the just finished tournament. Moreover, some have even dubbed him the Greatest of All Time (GOAT).

El Financiero reports that Central Bank authorities are looking into ways to commemorate the Tango team’s historic coronation during the World Cup in Qatar, much like they did following their victory in the 1978 World Cup, when special commercial coins were made available.

The newspaper noted that printing image of Leo Messi on the 1,000 peso note is one of the options available to the Central Bank of Argentina. Officials in Argentina want to display the number “10,” which starts with the number 1000. Also, adding the word “La Scaloneta,” which stands for the coach Lionel Scaloni’s victorious squad.
