Some of
Lionel Messi's current and former Barcelona team-mates have touched down in
Argentina ahead of his highly-anticipated wedding to Antonella Roccuzzo on
Friday.
Sergio
Busquets, Jordi Alba, Carles Puyol, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and Samuel Eto'o all
featured in a snap uploaded to Instagram by Puyol's wife, Vanessa Lorenzo.
Messi has
invited the entire Barcelona squad to the ceremony in Rosario.
The City
Center Rosario has been hired as the venue, with a five star hotel inside the
complex for guests to reside.
Sergio
Aguero's wife, Karina, will perform the song for the first dance at the
ceremony.
Messi has
also requested that chefs cook local delicacies such as 'locro' stew and
'empanada' pasties for the feast.
The dish is
a typical Argentine beef roast including chitterlings, gizzards and kidneys.
Messi and
his childhood sweetheart will finally tie the knot on a relationship which
spans back to when they were just five years old.
The pair met
growing up in Rosario, Argentina, but kept in touch after Messi moved to Spain
at the age of 13. And now they have now returned to their hometown for the
grand event on Friday.
Messi and
Roccuzzo, who have two children, Thiago and Mateo, will host the wedding at
City Center Rosario in Santa Fe.
Clearly a
long time coming, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has spared no expense to
make sure the occasion is as grand and spectacular as it should be, hiring out
the impressive City Center Rosario complex.
Guests of
the wedding will have the chance to play in the on-site casino while most will
also stay in the five-star, 188-room Pullman Hotel inside the complex where
rates start from almost £100 a night.
There is
also a fully functioning bowling alley, grass tennis courts, an indoor and
outdoor swimming pool as well as a number of bars and restaurants.
