The most supportive facet of the secretive leader of the National Team.

“One day, after a visit to a hospital, I understood the special dimension of a public figure. I understood that, for those sick children, the presence of a well-known footballer can be of great help. You are there and you get them to give you their smile, and for them it is a special joy because they have more desire to continue fighting, because they really believe that they will overcome the disease and that they will pursue their dreams ", once confessed Lionel Messi, about the moment in which that he decided to open his own solidarity foundation.
