Touching. Leo Messi expresses condolences to those affected by the flood in Bahía Blanca
Inter Miami star Lionel Messi expressed his support and condolences to the people affected by the tragedy that occurred in the Argentine city of Bahía Blanca. The footballer shared the message via an Instagram story.
Messi posted a simple yet touching message, writing his words of support on a black background.
"We are watching with sadness what is happening in Bahía Blanca. My condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones, and much strength to everyone going through this very difficult time," Messi stated.
It is worth noting that in Bahía Blanca, rain began early Friday morning and continued until noon. However, the rainfall was extremely heavy, with almost a year's worth of precipitation falling on the city in a few hours, leading to severe flooding.
As a result of the flood, dozens of people are missing, and it has already been confirmed that 16 people have died. The city suffered damage amounting to $400 million.
Additionally, Messi missed his team's recent matches, leading opposing clubs to compensate their fans for the excessively high ticket prices set precisely because of the Argentine footballer.
