Residents have also been visiting the neighbourhood to photograph the house, which has become an unofficial attraction for Messi supporters in Bahrain as anticipation builds for Argentina's World Cup final against Spain.
The display reflects the deep affection many Bahraini football fans have for Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the game, and highlights the global appeal of the Argentine national team.
Argentina booked their place in the World Cup final after defeating England 2-1 in the semi-finals, while Spain secured their spot by overcoming France.
