Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief sees gift from Messi

Kharkiv volunteer Yuriy Sapronov handed over a gift from Inter Miami star striker Lionel Messi to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, a signed T-shirt.

Sapronov wrote about it on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"...I handed Valerii Fedorovych (Zaluzhnyi – ed.) a T-shirt from a game, with Messi's signature. When I was in Miami, I naturally attended Inter Miami games, and thanks to our Serhiy Kryvtsov (Messi’s Ukrainian teammate in Inter Miami - ed.), I, of course, made it to their training. Leo respectfully signed," wrote Sapronov.

In the comments to the posting, the volunteer added that Messi in turn received a copy of Times magazine with Zaluzhnyi’s photo on the cover, signed by the commander-in-chief.

As reported, Goal named Argentina’s Lionel Messi the best football player of 2023.

With a total of 43 awards, Messi is also the most decorated player in the history of football.
