How Lionel Messi surprised his family after being given four days off

The Barcelona star decided to take his partner and sons away after the late win in Valencia...

On Thursday Lionel Messi will begin to prepare, along with his team-mates, for Saturday’s game against Granada at Camp Nou and the following games against Manchester City and Sevilla, which are followed by another international break. 

Since Saturday -- when he was the star of Barcelona’s win against Valencia at Mestalla with two goals, the second a penalty in stoppage time -- Messi’s been enjoying the days off given to him and some of his colleagues by Luis Enrique to disconnect and take a mental break ahead of the upcoming games. 

Messi took advantage of four days off to surprise his partner Antonella and his two sons, Thiago and Mateo. And what better surprise than to take them to Paris, in concrete Disneyland, so that his family can enjoy the characters and attractions at the theme park. 

Antonella was grateful for the ‘present’ and wrote on social media: “Thanks for this surprise.” Without doubt, a little detail from Leo Messi which has gone a long way with his family.
