People are freaking out about Lionel Messi's new platinum blonde hair
Summer 2016 has been one for the books for a guy named Lionel Messi.
The Barcelona superstar had to watch rival Cristiano Ronaldo win an International trophy in the Copa America final, he retired from soccer (then came back) and he was recently convicted of tax fraud.
But he's a new man now. At least, he looks like one.

...and people really can't handle it.
Messi's bleached hair has me really distressed.

Nice to see Messi copy his hero Ramsey's hair style! I hope he knows it won't make him as good as Ramsey though. pic.twitter.com/XJW0ciehjc

Messi can do whatever he wants with his hair. He doesnt owe anybody. Except the tax office
