A waxwork of football superstar Lionel Messi has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York.
The figure shows the four-time Ballon d'Or winner dressed in his national kit for Argentina as opposed to his Barcelona strip.
Sculptors at Madame Tussauds took four months to complete the waxwork, which required 250 measurements to be taken, with the help of photos and video footage.
Visitors to the New York attraction will be able to replicate Messi's shots as his figure will be placed in the interactive area.
