Leo Messi leaves Rosario to continue his holidays

After a few days of rest in Rosario, overcoming the tough defeat in the Copa America final, Leo Messi has gone on his holidays with his family.

Newspaper 'La Nacion' published images of the Barça forward, in which Leo was posing for pictures with some fans in Rosario airport, ahead of flying out to the Bahamas.

In the pictures, Messi still sports the beard he grew during the tournament in the USA, and tried to maintain some anonymity by wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Some fans however still recognised him and asked for autographs and photos.

The first images of Messi following the Copa America were taken in the Sergio Aguero family home, and then on the road journey to Rosario, at a motorway toll.

Meanwhile, the campaign continues in Argentina to get Messi to reconsider following his decision to retire from interntational football.
