Photo Of The Day: Lionel Messi Shows Off His New Baby Boy

Welcome to the world Thiago Messi!

Lionel Messi became a father for the first time on Friday and posted the above photo of his new bundle of joy.

The FC Barcelona star and his girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo are both first time parents.

After breaking numerous scoring records over the past season, Messi is two goals shy of matching Brazilian superstar Pele’s milestone of 75 goals for club and country in a calendar year, set in 1958.

He is also a leading candidate to win what would be his fourth Ballon D’Or.
