Messi soaks up the sun with a beer on holiday as he enjoys the last of his break

Lionel Messi continued to make the most of the last few days of his holiday as he enjoyed a cold beer on the beach while relaxing with his family.

The Barcelona star is enjoying a break with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their three children on at Jumby Bay in Antigua.

The resort, which resides on a small off-shore private island, is one of the most exclusive in the Caribbean and features a number of stunning villas, one of which the Messi family are staying in.

Roccuzzo took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a picture of her smiling husband sitting on a sunbed with a corona in hand, captioning the image 'relax'.

Messi has been on holiday since Argentina suffered defeat to Brazil in the semi-finals of the Copa America at the start of the month.

It is unconfirmed when he will return to Catalonia to begin next season's preparations but Barcelona have confirmed that the Argentine will be back to captain the side against Arsenal on August 4.
