The social media activists forwarded images of the Argentinian star as signing the shirt by leaving comments like: Messi signed the Syrian government flag.
Many western and Arab media, including the Saudi-sponsored al-Arabiya website which supports the terrorists in Syria, also released Messis image, confirming that the person who is wearing the shirt is a pro-Assad football fan.
The Spanish newspaper Sport reported in 2013 that the Messi has donated 100,000 euro (130,000 dollars) to the children of Syria.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Messi earned 300,000 euro during a tour with his FC Barcelona in North America. He decided to donate a third of the sum to the children in Syria who are innocent victims of the ongoing war.
In March 2010 Messi was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, with the aim of supporting the rights of children.
The United Nations estimates that more than 100,000 people have been killed since the start of terrorists attacks in Syria.
