As a world champion, you can wear anything – that’s what superstar Lionel Messi (35) probably thought on New Year’s Eve.
The Argentine posted some family photos on Instagram at the turn of the year. While his wife Antonela Roccuzzo (34) poses very chic in a white outfit, Messi’s green and orange dress looks more like pajamas.
After winning the World Cup in Qatar, the Argentine spent a few days in Rosario with Antonela and their three sons, Ciro, Mateo and Thiago.
The family had also celebrated Christmas in their home country. Messi’s buddy Luis Suárez (35) was also there. The former Barça colleague traveled by private plane from Montevideo, bringing his wife Sofia Balbi (33) and the children with him.
Messi received a very special gift from his Antonela. The beautiful Argentinian charmed her Lionel with a hot little Christmas dance. The Paris Saint-Germain star shared a short video of this for fans of the couple on social media.
This is how world champions celebrate!

At his club, Messi will be announced on “2. or January 3”, said PSG coach Christophe Galtier (56). Neymar (30), who failed with Brazil in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and runner-up Kylian Mbappé (24) were back in action for Paris in the 2-1 win over Strasbourg last Wednesday.
Coach Galtier has no concerns that the reunion between Messi and Mbappé could be problematic. Not even after Mbappé was mocked by Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez (30). It wasn’t Messi who did it, the coach said in the run-up to the Strasbourg game: “There’s no reason to mess it up.”
Mbappé himself reacted very coolly to the provocations: “Celebrating is not my problem. You shouldn’t waste your energy on trivial things, for me it’s important to do my best for the club,” he said. The Frenchman is already looking forward to Messi. “We’ll wait for Leo to come back so we can win games and score goals again.”
