Messi, new wife Roccuzzo donate leftover food from wedding to charity

 Lionel Messi and his new wife Antonella Roccuzzo have donated leftover food and drink from their glamorous wedding to a local charity. Barcelona star Messi married his childhood sweetheart, and mother of his two children, in his home town of Rosario in Argentina last Sunday.

According to Pablo Algrain, director of the Rosario Food Bank, they had received so much leftovers following the ceremony and reception, they weren't even sure how much they had been given.

Algrain told news agency Efe: 'It all arrived to the store and we're controlling it. We don't yet know quite how much there is.

'We explained to the wedding organisers that we can accept soft drinks and snacks, but that we'd have to change alcoholic drinks for money because we cannot accept them.'

Messi's marriage had been dubbed the 'wedding of the century' by Argentinian media, with many of the greatest names in football present at the ceremony.

Around 250 guests including Messi's former team-mates at the Nou Camp such as Xavi, Carles Puyol, Cesc Fabregas and Samuel Eto'o were there, as were current Catalan stars Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

Messi's team-mate for both club and country, Javier Mascherano, also showed up joined by Argentina players Angel Di Maria, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Sergio Aguero.
