Some of Lionel Messi‘s current and former Barcelona team-mates have touched down in Argentina ahead of his highly-anticipated wedding to Antonella Roccuzzo on Friday.

Messi has invited the entire Barcelona squad to the ceremony in Rosario.

Clearly, a long time coming, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has spared no expense to make sure the occasion is as grand and spectacular as it should be, hiring out the impressive City Center Rosario complex.

Guests of the wedding will have the chance to play in the on-site casino while most will also stay in the five-star, 188-room Pullman Hotel inside the complex where rates start from almost £100 a night.

There is also a fully functioning bowling alley, grass tennis courts, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool as well as a number of bars and restaurants.
