Footballers from around the world are joining together to help fight the spread of the coronavirus, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo each reportedly giving 1 million ($1.1 million) to the cause.
Clinic Barcelona confirmed on Tuesday that it had received a donation from the Argentine, which will go towards both treating infected patients and researching COVID-19.
"Thank you very much Leo, for your commitment and your support," the hospital said.
Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo reported that half of the 1 million will go to Clinic Barcelona and the other half to a medical center in Messi's native Argentina.
