An act worthy of applause! Madrid gives thanks to Messi
Lionel Messi is making the world a better place, one gesture at a time.
Details: The legendary Argentine footballer has donated €80,000 to help rebuild the Sierra Oeste region in the Community of Madrid, which suffered severe damage as a result of recent wildfires.
The noble gesture was revealed by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid. She publicly thanked the footballer and expressed hope that the residents of Spain’s capital will soon have the chance to greet Lionel in person.
“I want to thank him and say that the people of Madrid hope to welcome him soon and offer the applause he truly deserves,” said Díaz Ayuso.
It’s worth noting that the fire destroyed around 30,000 hectares of land in Sierra Oeste. The donated funds will be directed towards the recovery of affected municipalities, the restoration of infrastructure, and the rehabilitation of natural areas.
Reminder: Why did it have to be like this? Casemiro deeply disappointed Messi in his home debut.
