As he enjoys time off during the international break, it has seemingly given Lionel Messi the opportunity to take his kids to school.
The Argentine icon and his partner Antonella Roccuzzo have shared images on Instagram, as seen below, of the pair dropping two of their three boys off.
Instead of being miles away from his family and travelling during the break, Messi will surely be loving every minute spent at home and that means spending more time with his family.
We can only imagine the scenes when he arrives at their school and the reaction it probably still gets, but he’ll undoubtedly relish it and Roccuzzo looks equally delighted as her boys continue to grow up fast.
It won’t be long though before Messi is back at work for Barcelona after the international break, as the Catalan giants will take on Real Sociedad on September 15. Messi will no doubt have his family there to support him in return as they look to continue their fine start to the campaign.
For now though, it looks like he’s loving life at home…
He may be one of the greatest players of all time but Lionel Messi isn’t adverse to undertaking everyday tasks like doing the school run.
The Barcelona star isn’t on international duty, and, subsequently, was able to take his two eldest sons, Thiago and Mateo, to school.
Dressed casually, Messi seemed pleased as he spent time with his children in an image he posted on his Instagram account.
Messi wasn’t included in the Argentina squad to face Guatemala and Colombia, as he instead chooses to focus on his club career.
The 31-year-old hasn’t retired from international football, and could still represent Lionel Scaloni’s team at a later date, but he found himself under a significant amount of pressure during Argentina’s World Cup campaign, which ended with a defeat to France at the last-16 stage.

Tensions in the dressing room contributed to Argentina’s disappointing showing, and Messi, his country’s highest scorer of all time with 65 goals, is temporarily stepping aside.
Messi was surprisingly overlooked when the nominees for The Best FIFA Men’s Player award were announced, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mohamed Salah being shortlisted.
So far this season Messi has been in hugely impressive form, having scored four goals in his first three La Liga games.
