Messi appeared on the red carpet with his three children, all dressed in the same black suit with diamonds. Then the arrival of the two trophies at the theater was surprised by two mysterious pilots with helmets: Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. France and Spain shirts signed by Mbappé and Pedri for each one. And Kopa trophy for the Canarian footballer of Barça with a mention to the people of La Palma, which has been suffering from the most destructive eruption in its history for more than two months.
