Lionel Messi's boyhood club Newell's Old Boys of Argentina put up a banner of support for their country's captain in their stadium on Saturday, following the attack against his wife Antonela Roccuzzo's family business.
A threatening hand-written message to the Paris St Germain forward was left on a supermarket belonging to the Roccuzzo's early on Thursday morning, after two people on motorcycles shot the business.
"Messi, we are waiting for you. Javkin is also a narco, he will not take care of you," read the handwritten text left on the door. The message of support from Newell's was posted on social media hours before Saturday's home game against Barracas Central in the Argentine league. "Leo, you are the heart of a country that loves you. Newell's is with you," read the red and black banner, which was placed behind one of the goals at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa stadium ahead of the match.
