Heartwarming Encounter: Messi Meets a Young Fan with a Serious Illness

As a star with great influence, Messi actively participates in charity activities. The Argentinian star recently had an interaction with Emmanuel, a boy with a serious illness.

Emmanuel is a big fan of Messi, he has not stopped watching any of Inter Miami’s matches since the Argentine player appeared. 



Emmanuel has a dream of meeting his idol once in his life. To help the boy, the charity organization “Make-A-Wish Southern Florida” has joined forces with Inter Miami’s charity fund.

Thanks to that, Emmanuel and his family had a tour of the Southern Florida Club, meeting with Messi and Inter Miami players. The boy also played football with the players and had his shirt signed by Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.


“Thank you Inter Miami for making Emmanuel’s dream come true. The boy’s family said they could not express their happiness when they met Messi and the players,” said the thank you line on the Twitter page of “Make-A-Wish Southern Florida”.


Messi is very active in social activities. Previously, through a charity organization, the 36-year-old player auctioned the number 10 shirt for the Argentina national team. All auction proceeds will be transferred to singer Selena Gomez’s charity fund to help support children.



Messi, after missing many matches due to injury, returned in the match against Cincinnati in MLS. The Argentine star was put on the field in the 54th minute to replace Aviles but could not help Inter Miami avoid a 0-1 defeat. Cincinnati’s only goal was scored by Barreal in the 78th minute.
