The Mess family is added to a new member: Photographed on Mateo's lap

The star of Barcelona, Lionel Messy, has also welcomed a young dog into his home to accompany his next dog, Hulk.

His wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, showed Abu (Doo's name) at Instagram Dog sitting on the lap of the five-year-old boy Mateo, while Messy celebrated Argentina's victory in Copa America 2-1 against Bolivia on the other side of the Atlantic.

Antonela wrote;” This is Abu, the new family member. ”

It was not immediately clear whether Mess has already met the new animal in the family or will greet it for the first time when he comes home.

But what's clear is that whatever size Abu reaches, he's never going to get as close to him as French football player Hulk, who was once a adorable puppy before growing up almost as big as his kids. /Periscopi
