Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has donated €1million (nearly 9.30 crore Taka) to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, splitting the money between medical centres in Spain and his native Argentina.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner is currently in lockdown, with Spain’s La Liga suspended and the country’s population instructed to stay indoors to try and flatten the curve.
But Messi has been key to do his bit, sharing a heartfelt statement last week urging fans to follow medical advice, and now he has donated a sizeable sum to a hospital in Barcelona. _Agencies
