Lionel Messi is arguably the greatest soccer player of all time. Messi has won multiple titles in his career, having scored goals for top clubs like FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. The FIFA World Cup 2022 winning captain is also one of the richest soccer players of all time, earning millions of dollars through his salary and endorsement deals. Messi’s huge house in Barcelona is proof of that, which is a mansion sprawling over a huge area.
However, it seems that Messi’s house is not that well-guarded. While it seems ridiculous at first that a house of a celebrity as big as Lionel Messi will not be well-guarded, it does appear true. An incident that took place last year actually showed that it is quite easy to gain access to Messi’s house. A number of fans had got inside Messi’s compound, and they were held back by none other than Thiago Messi.
Thiago fires back at fans who were upset with Lionel Messi’s Barcelona exit
Lionel Messi’s shock exit from FC Barcelona upset plenty of fans. After the club posted on Instagram that Lionel Messi would not continue at Barcelona, a huge conundrum emerged. While most fans were seen pleading and begging the all-time top-scorer of Barcelona to stay at the club, some fans opted for a different approach. A group of fans, upset at Messi’s departure, decided to appear in front of Messi’s house.
Thiago Messi is a savage.

The group of fans managed to get inside Messi’s compound and stood in front of a huge door. The fans demanded to talk to Messi, wanting to know the reason for his departure. While the soccer star didn’t appear himself, the fans were stopped by Thiago Messi, his eldest son. The fans told Thiago, “Where is Leo Messi? We will make fun of Messi.“
However, it seemed that Thiago was in no mood to hear anything bad about his father. Thiago replied, “And I am going to laugh at your father.” This reply somehow managed to lighten the mood of the fans, as they broke into a laugh.

Thiago was also constantly present at the stadium during Argentina’s FIFA World Cup 2022 matches. He was present with his mother, Antonella Rocuzzo, and with his two brothers, Mateo and Ciro.
