Barcelona star Lionel Messi has become a father for the first time after his
girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, gave
birth to a baby boy, Thiago.
The 25-year-old was given permission
to leave training this morning to
accompany his partner to USP Dexeus, a hospital in the city, after she went into
labour.
After several hours, the boy was born
just after 17:00CET, with Roccuzzo
surrounded by family and friends,
including Messi's parents, Jorge and Celia.
"Today, I am the happiest man in the
world," Messi wrote on his official
Facebook page.
"My son was born, and I thank God for
this gift! Thanks to my family for the support. A huge to everyone."
