FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found it to be false.

Firstly, on doing a Google search with keywords such as ‘Messi’, ‘Donation’, ‘Six Golden Boots’, ‘UNICEF’, we didn’t find any authentic report citing that the Barcelona football star donated his six golden boots.

If he had donated his golden boots, it would have been covered by prominent media outlets.

We further scanned through the verified twitter handles of Messi and UNICEF, but we couldn’t find any such announcement made either by Messi or UNICEF.

Hence, in conclusion, it is clear that the viral post about Messi donating six of his golden boots is FAKE.
