Ariel Almada, the manager of the restaurant, has pledged to continue the campaign every night for the next 15 days.

In an interview with Marca Claro Argentina, Almada said that in addition to food and coats, “we also gave coffee, soft drinks, and to some, a glass of wine. A lot of great people came by, very respectful.”

The Barcelona star, alongside his Argentina teammates Ángel Di María, Giovani Lo Celso, and Franco Armani, landed in Rosario’s airport on Saturday after claiming third place in the Copa América.
