According to a Messi fan account
on Twitter, @Messi10stats, they received a message from the soccer
player’s team and “they want to know who the kid is so that Leo can
arrange something for him”
There has been no official word
from the star, but the man who is considered one of the best to ever
play the game and has done charity work for children in the past,
including partnering with UNICEF
