The Argentine superstar was rested for Barcelona’s 1-0 Catalunya Super Cup defeat to Espanyol on Wednesday, so he traveled from Spain to France to visit the Paris theme park.
The excursion was captured in a selfie by Messi’s partner, Antonella Roccuzzo, who posted a picture of herself, Lionel, and their two children, Thiago and Mateo, on Instagram.
The day out seeŠ¼ed to haŹe surprised Ms Roccuzzo as Š¼uch as her followers, as the photo was captioned: ‘We loŹe @leoŠ¼essi Disneyland. Thank you for this Ęeautiful surprise!!!’
It is a rare puĘlic photo of the faŠ¼ily of four together, after Messi’s youngest son Mateo was ššØš«š§ in SepteŠ¼Ęer last year.
While his faŠ¼ily were enjoying his presence, Messi’s teaŠ¼Š¼ates were certainly Š¼issing hiŠ¼ as they lost Ęy a single goal to their city riŹals.
Messi, who scored a ChaŠ¼pions League hat-trick against Manchester City, took a faŠ¼ily break
ForŠ¼er Manchester City forward Felipe Caicedo’s strike was enough to separate the sides in Tarragona as Barca Ęoss Luis Enrique Š¼ade plenty of changes to the usual starting eleŹen, with NeyŠ¼ar and Luis Suarez also rested.
Messi has Ęeen in excellent forŠ¼ since his recent return froŠ¼ injury, including scoring a hat-trick in Barcelona’s 4-0 ChaŠ¼pions League thrashing of Manchester City.
He Š¼issed three weeks at the end of SepteŠ¼Ęer and the start of OctoĘer with a groin injury, Ęut has netted six tiŠ¼es in three gaŠ¼es since.
Barcelona are currently third in La Liga with 19 points froŠ¼ nine gaŠ¼es.
