Nope, Barca donated the money to the LMF to avoid the taxes.
"The tax agency considers that Lionel Messi should collect the money, pay his taxes, and then give to his foundation. Instead, he asks Barça to pay the money directly to the foundation. At first glance, it looks like the same. Except that Barça donations are exempt from taxes and social security contributions. With millions of euros in tax savings for both the player and the club."
Ahh my mistake, well if they paid the correct taxes it should be all good.
