Messi has donated money from time to time to coronavirus relief efforts, and in this interview he argued that “it is essential, for those who need it most, to preserve all essential services in situations like this pandemic; water, electricity and even food. “
For that, the Argentine star praised the volunteers who made sure that people in their neighborhoods did not run out of food.
“It makes me extremely proud to see how they get involved, even in times as complicated as the ones we are experiencing. The glasses raised this year should be for all the people involved to help in that way.
He continues by saying: “Inequality is one of the great problems of our society and we must fight to correct it as soon as possible.”
Speaking of football, the Barcelona star said that these days he is “less obsessed with goals” and instead focuses on how he can help the team perform better as a group.
