Lionel Messi's trip to Gabon for charitable purposes was not a trouble-free affair and there has been a new twist. The stone he symbolically placed for the construction of a new Port Gentil stadium, ahead of Gabon hosting the 2017 Africa Cup, has disappeared. Somebody has taken the stone on which Messi left his hand marks.
L'Union reports that the authorities arrived as soon as the theft of the stone was discovered by security and are on its trail. Since Messi visited some claimed he was paid a large sum of money to do it and others said he didn't show respect by arriving unshaven.
