World-class footballers like Lionel Messi always have to be aware of every move they make, as cameras follow them 24/7 everywhere they go. With million-dollar contracts with different brands, the prestige of the club he plays for and his personal image, Messi must be very careful with his actions, because otherwise, he may be the subject of fake news on social networks.

The video on social media sparked a wave of comments and insinuations, but it was quickly debunked, as it was confirmed that the real brand of the sneakers was Off-White and not Nike. What is true is that at first glance the sneakers were very similar to those of Nike, so they lent themselves to confusion that ultimately came to nothing.

After the awards ceremony, Dembele posted on social media and received an unexpected response from Messi: “Great Ous! Congratulations, I’m very happy for you. You deserve it,” was the Argentine’s comment, who congratulated his former teammate and showed his greatness by greeting him.
