A video began to circulate on social networks in which Lionel Messi is observed with his family, while they ride a bicycle through a private neighborhood in Funes, a city in Argentina.
The footage, recorded by one of the residents of the neighborhood inside his vehicle and shared by Rosario 3, shows how the Argentine player walks with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo and one of their three children.
You can also see how Messi, dressed in the clothes of the Argentina team, greets the person who recorded the video, while gradually moving away from the place.
The comments on social networks highlighted Lionel Messi’s reaction to being recorded, since, far from getting angry, he decided to greet the camera with a smile.
In addition, many people began to speculate about the reasons that led Lionel Messi to return to Argentina, after the controversy that was his farewell to Paris Saint German and some friendly matches he played with the albiceleste.
The reality, according to local media, is that there are several reasons. One of them, they assured, is about the eve of the Argentine’s birthday, which will be on June 24.

“Leo left the concentration after the first game and traveled in his private plane with Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi to Argentina. His flight landed during the early hours of Saturday the 17th at the Islas Malvinas Airport in the city of Rosario, ”says La Nación.
Another reason, according to the same outlet, is that Messi will attend the farewell match of the player Maxi Rodríguez, which will also take place on June 24 at the Marcelo Bielsa stadium.
Similarly, another of the farewells that the Argentine star will supposedly attend is that of Juan Román Riquelme, which will take place on June 25 at the La Bombonera stadium.
This is known due to a video where Riquelme, in the middle of a press conference for his farewell party, hinted that Lionel Messi will be there for his celebration.
“MESSI IS GOING TO BE, HE IS GOING TO PLAY IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STADIUM IN THE WORLD” bombshell by Riquelme.

“Messi will be there”, was the short phrase used by Riquelme to confirm the supposed assistance of the Argentine.
