JAKARTA Lionel Messi immediately sold out all over the world after Argentina beat France to come out as Qatar's 2022 World Cup champion on Sunday night.
Adidas' famous brand as the official supplier of La Albiceleste costumes and also Messi's sponsor confirmed the information. They said they would try to keep up with the incredible demand.
"Since their victory that made history, we have produced various celebratory costumes that will soon be available," Adidas said as quoted by CNN International.
According to several reports, the Argentine jersey with Messi's name and jersey number was sold out even before the final match at the Lusail Stadium.
The search for Messi's Argentine costume on Amazon also shows that it has sold out. In addition, currently searches on the Adidas website show Argentina's jersey has also been sold out.
However, there are several other team items that are still available, including basketball tops and oblong t-shirts. Adidas said they would make new Argentine jerseys with three stars.
"We will also be making a new version of their iconic jersey, featuring three stars to mark their third World Cup champions, for fans around the world as soon as possible," Adidas said.
Argentina beat France 4-2 through a penalty shootout after playing a 3-3 draw in 120 minutes. This is La Albiceleste's first title since their last title in 1986 or 36 years ago.
Messi himself was named Man of the Match in that match and was also awarded the Golden Ball as Best Player of the Year. The Paris Saint-Germain player scored a total of seven goals, one of Kylian Mbappe's top scorers.
