Barcelona star, Lionel Messi, has treated lucky youngsters with a holiday of lifetime after taking part in an impromptu kick-about on the beach during his vacation in Antigua.
Messi has been trying to get over his Copa America heartbreak by taking a prolonged summer holiday with childhood partner, Antonella Roccuzzo.
Argentina crashed out of the continental tournament after suffering defeat in the hands of Brazil in the semi-final to extend the South American nation’s quest for a long-awaited international title. Messi was even red-carded in the first-half of their third-place play-off win against Chile to underline his heartbreaking outing with Argentina.
The Barca captain was recently filmed playing with young boys on Antigua’s Caribbean beach, making the best out of his summer holiday ahead of the new season. The footage showed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in a relaxed mood as he enjoyed the kick-about with his son Thiago and three other children who included a blonde schoolboy. “Messi was with his family on the beach.

I was on my own and began to kick my ball a few feet from where they were,” one of the boys was quoted saying. “His dad Jorge threw a ball to me and asked if I wanted to play with them and then we played football with Thiago and Messi for 45 minutes,” he further divulged.
Meanwhile,we reported that car manufacturer, Audi, have demanded that Barcelona stars should return their freebie cars after their Camp Nou sponsorship ended, reports claim.
