When he is at home, Messi is a person like any other although he combines it with being one of the best footballers in history, if not the best. In a video published by 'OTRO', he is seen playing with his middle son, Mateo, and his eldest son, Thiago, while Ciro runs around the house.
In fact, the youngest of the 3 manages to slip and fall on the floor while the '10' gets a plastic ball and puts crosses in for Marcos for him to header it in. Thiago tries to save his shots but fails on a few occasions and the former scores.
It is a homey image and shows the most home-loving side of the player, whose sons have already taken the floor on more than one occasion. Above all, the middle one, who tends to perform pranks that have gone viral more than once on social media.
His dad has recognised in several interviews that he is the most mischievous of them all and he often has to give him into trouble.
In purely sporting terms, Messi is going through one of his best seasons - as is almost always the case - and has just exceeded his best assist average.
