After leading Barcelona to Champions League victory against Manchester City at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night Lionel Messi hit back at those that criticised him earlier in the season before celebrating Spanish Father's Day with his family.m The Argentina international's girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo posted a picture to her Instagram account on Thursday morning wishing him 'Happy Father's Day'. Roccuzzo and two-year-old son Thiago each planted a kiss on Messi's cheek as the trio posed for a family selfie to mark the occasion.
'A short while ago I was supposed to be a disaster, it's tricky to go from being a disaster to the best form of ones career,' Messi told Canal+ after the game.
'He saved everything. We did all we could to score more goals but the keeper played fantastically well and I’d like to congratulate him. The most important thing was to make it through.'
Barcelona now will focus on Clasico on Sunday with a chance to open up a four-point lead over Real Madrid in La Liga, but Messi is expecting a tough match.
'One has to respect them and their current form makes them more dangerous. I wouldn’t say that they’re not in good shape or lacking form. On an individual basis they have great players. We’ll just try and play our game.'
