Following Lionel Messi’s eighth Ballon d’Or win in Paris on Monday night, the Argentine’s long time apparel brand partner Adidas has commissioned eight 14-carat gold rings, each paying tribute to Messi’s achievements from each Ballon d’Or win.
Later this year, each ring will be available for auction, with all proceeds going to charities to be selected by Messi and Adidas.

The 8 balls on the side of the boot represent each year that Messi was voted the best player in the world. A golden goat’s head sits just below the laces of each boot, while the words ‘El Mejor Del Mundo’ (The Best in the World) adorn the outside of the boot with a decorative embossed print.
