Lionel Messi is taking advantage of his football hiatus by vacationing with his family.

Along with his wife and their three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, the 31-year-old Barcelona star enjoyed the sun.

He stood with Antonella at the pool, wearing a stylish but daring pair of spotty trunks.

To keep Thiago’s abilities sharp, the Argentine star also challenged him to a game of Teqball.

Players have a maximum of three touches to return the ball to their opponent’s side of the table in this game, which combines table tennis and football.

For Thiago’s sake, I hope his father refrained from becoming overly competitive, as this could have resulted in the child crying.

After leading Barcelona to a 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday, Messi is taking advantage of La Liga’s Christmas break.

Ernesto Valverde’s team won’t play again until January 6 when they visit Getafe.

This season, Leo has once again been in excellent form and leads the scoring lists in all five of Europe’s premier leagues.

Messi leads with 15 goals this season, followed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kylian Mbappe, and Krzysztof Piatek of Genoa, all of whom have 13 goals.
