Messi urges supporters: ‘stay at home with loved ones’

... as stars in quarantine hit gym and watch Netflix

Lionel Messi has urged his legion of supporters to stay at home with loved ones as the deadly coronavirus continues to spread globally.

All major sporting events, including football across Europe and further afield, have been postponed for the foreseeable future.

With games unlikely to take place for at least another three weeks and possibly more, sports stars are having to find other ways to keep themselves occupied on weekends.

Barcelona superstar Messi is spending quality time with his family while others are taking advantage of Netflix or working out in their own gyms.

Posting a picture with his two sons to his 144million followers, Messi wrote: “Health must always come first. It is an exceptional moment and you must follow the instructions of both health organisations and public authorities. Only in this way can we combat it effectively.

“It is the time to be responsible and stay at home, it is also perfect to enjoy that time with yours that you can not always have.

“A hug and hopefully we can turn this situation around as soon as possible.”
