Lionel Messi left his hometown of Rosario as a child in order to join Barcelona, but his links to the city remain strong.
None is stronger than his long-term relationship with Antonella Roccuzzo, who he grew up with in Argentina and now shares two children with. Messi first confirmed he had a girlfriend back in 2009 and she has since moved out to join him in Spain.
