In the latest photo, Messi looks so different that fans had to rub their eyes a few times to recognize him.
The past few days have probably been the most relaxing time for superstar Lionel Messi. After nearly half a year of continuous hard work, the Argentine striker finally got to relax with his wife and three little angels. And then a series of happy photos appeared on the personal accounts of the 32-year-old striker and his wife Antonela.
Recently, a loving photo of the couple was posted and immediately attracted more than 1.6 million likes on Instagram. However, the more fans looked, the more unfamiliar Messi’s appearance became.

The usually well-groomed, romantic hair suddenly disappeared and the Caribbean sea water probably “sponsored” La Pulga’s new hair. In addition, the sunburnt skin made the Barca player even more unrecognizable.
“I had to look twice to recognize Messi,” account dimeloij exclaimed.
“Oh my god, give me back my regular Messi,” another person said.
The Argentine star’s holiday is expected to end in a few days. Barca said the number 10 will return to the match against Arsenal on August 2. On July 24, Messi also received good news when the South American Football Confederation only fined him £1,200 for his uncontrolled comments at the 2019 Copa America.
