Lionel Messi, FC Barcelona's Argentine forward, is celebrating still. After his fantastic showing in Ipurua, the Argentine star today is enjoying his mother's birthday. Celia Cuccittini is 57 on Monday and celebrated it surrounded by her family. Leo Messi published photographs of it on his Instagram account. 

In one photo he is beside his mother and accompanied by two bottles of Vega-Sicilia wine. They have a special meaning: one bottle is from 1987 and the other 1960, the years they were both born.

In another photograph Celia is about to blow out the candles on a huge cake. She is surrounded by children in that picture, including Messi's sons Thiago and Mateo. However his father Jorge and brother Matias were not there, they are in Argentina for work reasons and could not attend.
