What a difference a decade makes.
With exactly two weeks left to go until Christmas, Lionel Messi and his pals have taken to Instagram to show that they are fully prepared for the big day.
Posing under the tree with wife Antonella and his two sons Thiago and Mateo, Messi beamed as he proudly announced: “Waiting for Santa Claus with my family.”
It certainly looks a lot more sedate that Messi’s Christmas preparations in 2005, during which he geared up for the Yuletide festivities by donning his Santa hat and swimming with the local residents of Barcelona aquarium.
