FINALLY! Lionel Messi Explains Why He Dyed His Hair Blonde

Messi's new look.

ARGENTINE football star, Lionel Messi, who shocked the football with his strange looking hairstyle, has finally explained the motive behind his move.
The Barcelona football sensation considered to be one of the greatest footballers of all time. Lionel Messi stunned football fans recently when he dyed his hair blonde. However he has spoken out about the development.
It will be recalled that the Argentinian wizard, 28, had announced his retirement from international football after Argentina's penalty defeat to Chile in the Copa America.
But he returned this week and in typical fashion scored the winner against Uruguay to announce his comeback in style.
According to The Sun UK, Messi explained in an interview with Argentine actor Mingo that this summers events on and off the pitch had got the better of him - and the hair was just part of a
new start.
He explained: "I made a change to start from zero. "A lot had gone on, things had happened, and I said to myself: “I have to break this and start again'”.

Messi's old look.

The Copa America defeat was particularly tough for Messi to take - and his brief retirement was seemingly due to his own sense of feeling like he'd failed.
He continued: "It was how I felt in that moment. Everything came crashing down. "I felt like that [final] was the one, given how the team was and how we’d played in the competition. It was a huge disappointment.” Messi will look to guide Barcelona to a defence of their La Liga crown this season and attempt to wrestle the Champions League off Real
Madrid.
