The Argentine crack has invited all his team-mates but not the board

Messi wants his guests to make a donation to his foundation

Barcelona star Lionel Messi will marry Antonella Roccuzzo on June 30 in his native Rosario. 

Messi has invited every single one of his Barça team-mates to the event in Argentina. That's to say, 21 players. That doesn't mean they will all go, though. For example, captain Andres Iniesta has already explained to Messi that he will be unable to attend. 

Also invited are all the kitmen, physiotherapists, masseurs and doctors who work with the first team. Of course, player liason officer and good friend Pepe Costa has also been invited. 

Who hasn't been invited? Well: Luis Enrique, Unzue, Robert Moreno, Rafel Pol and Joaquin Valdes. Leo has not invited a single member of the board, either. 

In this sense, Messi has followed in Xavi Hernandez's footsteps. The former Barça midfielder also decided not to invite any board members due to the hostility between Sandro Rosell and Joan Laporta. Xavi, meanwhile, will be at Messi's wedding with his partner Nuria Cunillera. 

The present which the Argentine international has asked for from his guests is a donation to his foundation.
