Lionel Messi Madame Tussaud's waxwork unveiled at Wembley Stadium Messi must struggle no more with these painful doubts and the harrowing apparition of Cristiano Ronaldo being painted on the cheek, for he has now, at last, finally achieved his lifelong dream and been made into a wax figure at a dubious London tourist trap: Behold! I am alive!" inanimate Leo, wearing last season's Barcelona kit for some reason, seems to cry. I am closer to Lionel Messi than Nemanja Vidic was for the entirety of the 2011 Champions League final," says the man behind him holding the punitive-looking haircomb. Messi has been designed in a state of constant celebration, or as a warning to his new handlers that he is being left out in direct sunlight and is in danger of melting. He's a lot happier in the shade on the Wembley pitch, where he will now remain for eternity. Any balls that rebound off him will be treated in the same way as those that come back off the woodwork. Either that or you'll be able to gawp at him after queueing for 84 minutes and paying £30 for the privilege.
