Argentina star Lionel Messi is believed to be one of the most outstanding footballers in the world. After playing nearly two decades for FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi is currently playing for the French side, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or record, Messi, shows no mercy on his opponents, even if it is a fun match between him and his kids. In a video posted on Instagram, Messi is playing football in his backyard with his kids. In the hilarious video, his wife had to request him to let the kids win.
