Lionel Messi's tranquil retreat in Ibiza turned tumultuous early morning on August 6 when environmental activists stormed and vandalized his mansion. The group, known as "Futuro Vegetal," splattered red and black paint across the facade, branding the property as an illegal construction.

The protest, documented and shared on social media by the activists themselves, highlighted their grievances against what they claim is an unauthorized structure purchased by Messi for a reported €11 million. The incident unfolded amidst ongoing heatwaves in the Balearic Islands, which activists cited in their online posts, linking environmental concerns with the high-profile property's controversy.

Currently vacationing in Miami following Argentina's Copa America triumph, Messi and his family frequently retreat to the Ibiza residence for relaxation. The incident underscores the intersection of celebrity life and environmental activism, sparking debate over property rights and ecological responsibility in the scenic Spanish coastal town.
