<<Print>>Lionel Messi welcomed his second child into the world on Friday. The Barcelona player becomes a father again after Mateo Messi was born this morning.
Messi was excused by Barcelona ahead of their crunch tie against Atletico Madrid for 'family matters' as the Argentine missed training to see to the birth of his child. The baby was born in Barcelona by Lionel Messi's longtime partner Antonella Roccuzzo.
Congratulations Messi.
