The Messi Family

No, this is not a family who makes a mess and doesn't clean up after themselves. This is the Lionel Messi family, as in the parents and girlfriend (Antonella Roccuzzo) of the Barcelona and Argentina star. This is the mother and father and girlfriend of the greatest footballer in the world.

This is royalty in many ways. And yes they look a little glum considering Messi just received the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award for the third straight year in a row. I guess it gets a little stale when he keeps winning everything. Perhaps they'll be happy when Messi wins the World Cup for Argentina. Let's hope he does.
