The day Leo Messi played with the Atlético de Madrid shirt
The match between Atlético de Madrid and Bayern Munich promises to be exciting. The good run of the red and whites and the decline of Hansi Flick’s team make both teams play for the leadership in the last round of the year.
One of the stories that both clubs share has Leo Messi as the protagonist. The Argentine star has been praised by several Atlético players and coaches, such as Diego Simeone and Enrique Cerezo. Even one day, Messi wore the Atlético de Madrid shirt.
It was on June 13, 2009 in Rosario, in a charity match organized by the Atlético de Madrid Foundation and the Pupi Zanetti Foundation. The red and white team was grateful for Messi’s gesture, who played the first half with Maxi Rodríguez’s team and the second half with Zanetti’s team.
The charity match ended with a 6-4 victory for Maxi Rodríguez’s team, and more than 20,000 people gathered at the Newell’s Old Boys stadium. Leo Messi’s gesture, collaborating with the Atlético de Madrid Foundation, made the Argentine star wear the mattress team’s shirt without problems.
