PSG's Lionel Messi receives threatening note after family's store attacked in Argentina

Gunmen left a threatening message for Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi after attacking a supermarket owned by his in-laws in Rosario, Argentina, Rosario police confirmed on Thursday.

Fourteen shots were reportedly fired at the shutters and front door of the food store "Unico," which is located in the Lavalle district of Rosario, in the early hours of Thursday by two individuals on a motorbike.

Nobody was injured in the early morning attack, and it was unclear why assailants would target Messi or the Unico supermarket in the country's third-largest city of Rosario, owned by the family of his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.
