Leo Messi, Antonela and their children have taken a break

Antonela Roccuzzo posted a clue on her Instagram account

Leo Messi and his family are in Finland. Messi, accompanied by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and his two sons Thiago and Mateo, have taken advantage of the time off given by Ernesto Valverde to get away from Barcelona. 

And in the Christmas spirit, Messi and his family have headed to the home of Father Christmas, someone who his two kids were both keen to meet. Thiago was able to enjoy some time with Father Christmas and the reindeers, who are so loved by the little ones. 

It's unlikely the boys will forget their trip.

Antonela Roccuzzo has posted a clue on her Instagram account about the family's whereabouts:

It's not just a nice present for Thiago and Mateo, but also for Messi, who is celebrating his new contract with Barça, signed at Camp Nou last weekend and committing him to the club until 2021. 

Messi is back in training on Wednesday morning, while the Barça players not given time off are currently preparing for the Copa del Rey second leg game against Real Murcia.
