The Barcelona legend’s new hairdo marks his early return to training ahead of schedule with the Catalan giants as he prepares to join Luis Enrique’s men in their pre-season camp in the UK.
But, social media is already mocking the Argentine maestro’s latest hairstyle – comparing it to Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who donned his highlights look just before Euro 2016.
Many have joked on Twitter that Messi, in his own way, is trying to emulate the Welshman after his success at international level this summer to gloss over his own Copa America misery with Argentina.

Of course, there are worse things than being compared to one of the best midfielders at Euro 2016. Being likened to a once ‘future England captain’ for one or a fictitious mother of dragons…
