Barcelona have launched a social media campaign to support Lionel Messi after the 29-year-old was handed a 21-month jail sentence by a Spanish court for being found guilty of fiscal fraud.
The Argentinian and his father Jorge were both given the same prison sentence for the offence, with the prolific attacker fined €2million for three counts of tax fraud and his dad hit with a €1.7m charge.
Both men have always denied any wrongdoing and Messi's representatives confirmed on Wednesday that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will fight his conviction at the Supreme Court.
Barcelona are determined to show their star man they are 100 per cent behind him and have now called on their fans to show their support, too.
