Lionel Messi welcomes Baby #3
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has again proved that he is a sharp shooter after he confirmed the birth of his third child.
The Argentine pulled out of the Barça squad due to face Malaga in La Liga on Saturday due to the big news.
Messi confirmed the arrival of Ciro on Instagram, publishing a photograph of the newborn holding his father’s hand and revealing that everything had gone well.

“Welcome, Ciro!” Messi wrote. “Thanks to God, everything went perfectly. Mother and baby are doing really well. We are super happy.”
Barcelona announced that Messi had withdrawn from the game in Andalusia for “personal reasons” and it was later reported in the Catalan press that his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, had given birth earlier in the day.
Messi and Antonella, who got married last summer in their native Rosario, already had two sons, Thiago, 5, and Mateo, 2.
