Argentina Surprises Lionel Messi for his 31st Birthday Prior to Nigeria Match  

Lionel Messi’s people have never failed to show up for the Argentinian footballer, showing up in unity for the Argentinian footballer on his 31st birthday. The Argentina team threw Messi a birthday party where he was snapped blowing his candles on social media.

The birthday event took place in Bronnitsky where Argentina is based for World Cup training and practices. There was even a life-size chocolate sculpture for his friends, family, and teammates to enjoy.

Messi’s good mate Sergio Aguero has paid tribute to his lad by posting a picture of them two on his Instagram account. Friends, family and the Argentina team players and staffers were all present to make Messi’s birthday one to remember for the 31-year-old.

Lionel Messi took a short break right after practice to be with his teammates, children, and his teammates’ families. With a post-defeat against Croatia, Aguera appeared to break, hitting out at Jorge Sampaoli who pulled the player out early during the second half of the match.

Aguera will be sitting out their final group game against Nigeria but all is well during Messi’s birthday as he celebrates his friends despite his early break-off. Argentina will be playing against Nigeria on Tuesday in the Saint Petersburg Stadium.
