soccer star made from plastic bags.

Edition report continues:
The
image began floating around social media last week and is said to be from the
wartorn region of Dohuk, Iraq. As the image spread, it caught Messi’s
attention.
The
boy’s improvised jersey resembles Messi’s Argentina national shirt, which has
thin blue-and-white stripes.
According
to reports, the Barcelona captain is trying to do something to help the
child.
According
to a Messi fan account on Twitter, @Messi10stats, they received a message from
the soccer player’s team and “they want to know who the kid is so that Leo can
arrange something for him.”
There has been no official
word from the star, but the man who is considered one of the best to ever play
the game and has done charity work for children in the past, including
partnering with UNICEF.
