In a unique step that mixes art, sports and human work, the Argentine star announced Lionel Messi On his choice of his favorite goal in his football career, in preparation for turning it into a digital artwork presented in a charitable auction, the choice came in cooperation with the Inter Miami and UNICEF Foundation and the famous Turkish artist Rafik Anadolu.
Messi chooses the best goal in his career to present it with a public auction to support a charitable project
Messi was chosen on his famous goal in the 2009 European Champions League final against Manchester United, a goal that he scored with Barcelona’s shirt against goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and led his team to win 2-0 and crown the continental title.
And that goal was not just an artistic touch, but rather a historical moment that brought up Barcelona’s superiority in the world, and confirmed the diversity of Messi’s offensive weapons despite his short stature compared to the defenders.

The artwork that Anatolia will produce will be a visual and spiritual translation for that moment, using digital data and artificial intelligence techniques to create a unique artistic experience, and the work is scheduled to be presented at a public auction, and its revenues will be devoted to charitable projects implemented by UNICEF around the world, within the framework of supporting children.
The art piece of light will be released in New York on June 11, as the work will bear the signature of Messi and Mudarouli, and its revenues will be allocated to support children’s education in cooperation with UNICEF.

This initiative comes to show another aspect of Messi, a person who seeks to leave a positive impact outside the stadium, and re -employed his sporting glories to serve noble issues, and this experience also represents an inspiring model for how to meet sports, art and technology in new areas that serve humanity.
Was this header really the most beautiful of its goals? The audience may differ in opinion, but what does not disagree about it is Messi’s effect on and outside the green rectangle.
