Lifesize Chocolate Sculpture Of Argentina's Lionel Messi

Lifesize Chocolate Sculpture Of Argentina's Lionel Messi!


In all the years I've played, coached, and watched competitive football; I've never seen a sculpture of a global sports athlete like this one in Catalonia, Spain. There have been bronze sculptures of football legends like Maradona, Pele, Bobby Moore, Di Stefano, and Batistuta over the decades but never one made of chocolate!

"In Catalonia, children are given a chocolate cake called a "Mona" as a gift at Easter. And whichever kid got this one better like diabetes because that's what you'll get if you eat a lifesize chocolate Lionel Messi complete with Ballon d'Or. Given how tiny the real Leo is, this sucker looks like it has to be bigger than him, though. It certainly weighs more. At 115 kilos (253 lbs.), it could probably crush the little Argentine with its head alone."

Here is the head close-up of the dead-eye stare.

I wonder if people are going to eat the "Chocolate Messi"?
