A serious act of vandalism has shocked Argentina and the football world after a statue of Lionel Messi in Buenos Aires was found badly damaged in the early hours of Sunday. The monument, located in the central area of Mar del Plata near the El Nuevo Mundial bar, had been brutally cut off at the feet, splitting the figure in two and leaving the torso lying on its plinth.
The incident has caused great anger among fans and the sports community, who have described the act as shameful and unjustifiable. According to preliminary information, the vandalism occurred during the night, while the authorities immediately launched verifications to discover who is behind this deliberate attack. There is still no clear investigative lead, but the incident has reignited debates about the safety of public monuments that honor Argentine football icons.
This is not the first time such an act has occurred. Just a few weeks earlier, a mural dedicated to goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez in Morón was vandalized by unknown individuals, raising concerns that attacks on football figures may be becoming a dangerous trend.
The local community and authorities are now demanding stronger protective measures, considering installing additional cameras and dedicated patrols in areas where such acts have occurred. Meanwhile, work on restoring Messi's statue is expected to begin soon, as his fans strongly condemn this act that affects a symbolic figure of Argentina.
