the colombian soccer player Teofilo Gutierrezunleashed the fury of his followers on social networks after having made a raffle for a Lionel Messi shirt with solidarity fines.

However, of everyone who bought a number for the raffle none of the winners turned out and the striker kept the prize.

“It is a shirt that Messi gave me and now I have the opportunity for people to win it over, to participate in a raffle for 20,000 pesos (1,400 Argentine pesos), so that they can provide poor children with a toy and it is a shirt that is signed. There is a friend who told me that she is worth 100 thousand dollars, I did not want to sell her, and the idea is that people earn it and that they can be happy, and give her children a gift, “confessed the striker.
