Lionel Messi has been honored at his former school in Argentina with a stunning mural that took nearly 400 gallons of paint to create.
At Escuela Nº 66 General Las Heras in Rosario, located in the Sante Fe province, the school unveiled a mural of their most famous former student on the outside of the school building. The mural is 430 square feet, according to Sport.
The report says Paulo Consentino was in charge of the painting, adding that he has done similar work on Neymar in Brazil and Luis Suarez in Uruguay.
