Leo Messi & Antonella Roccuzzo marry in Rosario

The football wedding of 2017 - perhaps the wedding of the year - took place in Rosario on Friday night.

There was much to love about the Messi wedding, not least the fact that Leo and Antonella Roccuzzo are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since they were eight.

Along with their family and friends were a host of international and club team mates of the Argentina and Barcelona superstar.

The likes of Luis Suarez, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi, Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol, Sergio Busquets, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba and Samuel Eto'o represented Barcelona.

Meanwhile from an Argentina perspective, present were Nicolas Otamendi, Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
