Lionel Messi recently turned 36 and celebrated his birthday in a private yacht party with the presence of several football stars. It is not common for the Argentine striker to have a birthday celebration at this time of the year since tournaments like the World Cup or Copa America usually take place. However, the fact that the 2022 World Cup will be held in winter has allowed Messi to take a vacation and combine his birthday celebrations with family and close friends.
Messi, the renowned Inter Miami star, took a trip to Ibiza island in Spain with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and children to celebrate his upcoming birthday. The family enjoyed their holiday on the island, and Antonella shared some vacation photos on Instagram. Cesc Fabregas, Messi’s former teammate from Barcelona, and his wife Daniella also joined the family on the trip.
A number of famous football stars from around the world gathered to celebrate Messi’s birthday. Some of the notable names in attendance were Joaquín Correa, Lautaro Martínez (Inter), Leandro Paredes (PSG), Angel Correa (Atlético Madrid), Rodrigo De Paul (Atlético Madrid), Angel Di Maria (Juventus), and Alejandro Gómez (Sevilla)…
Luis Suárez, a close friend of Messi, made an appearance at his rare birthday party. These two players were colleagues for six seasons at Barcelona. Fábregas from Monaco also joined the party on the paradise island of Ibiza. Both belong to the renowned 1987 La Masia generation of Barcelona.
The celebration for Messi’s birthday was attended by two players from the Argentine team, namely Nicolas Tagliafico and Lautaro Martinez, along with their significant others. The picture of the group was shared on Nicolas’ wife’s personal page. The party was not just notable because of the world-famous players, but also due to the gorgeous and charming wives and partners of these celebrated athletes.
