Lionel Messi’s luxurious Ibiza mansion was the target of a shocking vandalism attack by the radical Spanish climate activist group Futuro Vegetal, according to reports.

The group managed to breach the football star’s lavish property, covering it in red and black paint, and unfurling a banner outside its entry that read: “Help the planet, eat the rich, abolish the police.”

The break-in, which the group posted on Instagram, left Messi’s multimillion-dollar home in disarray, with activists also posing in the garden for more photos.

The group posed with a banner on the property reading, “Help the planet, eat the rich, abolish the police.”

Futuro Vegetal, known for its extreme tactics, justified its actions on social media, claiming, “We tinted Messi’s illegal mansion in Ibiza.”

The group criticized the footballer for owning the $12 million mansion, labeling it as an “illegal construction” and highlighting the climate crisis’s impact on the Balearic Islands, where Ibiza — long a party destination for foreigners — is located.
