Lionel Messi is currently enjoying his leisure time at home with his family after a holiday in Ibiza. Post, Argentina’s exit from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Messi and his family whisked off for a vacation to forget the terrible season of the footballer at the mega event. Messi even met Rafael Nadal during his holidays and both were seen letting their hair down. But, holidays too cannot keep Messi away from football for a long time.

Yesterday, Messi’s wife Antonella Roccuzzo shared a video on social media where the Barcelona forward flaunted his football skills while playing with his dog.  The canine looked quite frustrated when he could not get hold of the ball. In the background, you could hear his kids saying, “Score a goal.” Check out the video.

Talking about Argentina’s stint at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the team lost to France by 4-3. After the match, Joerge Sampoli said, “I think that we adapted to necessity, rather than,n having a clear idea. We had a clear need and we had to win, that was our main goal. That was maybe stronger than our football concept. We have the best player in the world and we had to try to create collective situations to really use that player who can have many brilliant moments. We tried many different tactics, surround him, create space for him, so we tried to use everything we had to allow him to do what he can do. Sometimes we managed it, sometimes we didn’t. [The players] fought until the end and they nearly equalised at the end and that’s what I really, really value. They worked very hard and I want to say thank you."
