Lionel Messi made the most of the Christmas break as he headed out for a short vacation with his family.

The Argentina and Barcelona talisman took to his official Instagram account to share a picture of himself alongside his wife Antonella Roccuzzo.

While Messi showed off his athletic torso and tattooed legs wearing polka-dotted shorts, his lady love looked stunning in a tiny bikini.

He also shared a ‘story’ of himself indulging in a game of teqball with his six-year-old son Thiago.

Teqball is a sport that resembles table tennis but stands apart in two ways: It’s played with a football; and on a table that bends downwards towards the ends.

Meanwhile, Messi is expected to get back to practice soon as Barcelona are scheduled to lock horns with Getafe in a La Liga fixture come January 7.

While Barcelona are placed on top of table, Getafe lie at the seventh place.
