'Grumpy old man!' - Lionel Messi savaged by wife Antonela Roccuzzo with Instagram birthday post as the 'best dad, best partner, best everything' tucks into Smurfs cake

Messi celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, with his wife poking fun at him and celebrating his best qualities on social media.

Roccuzzo wrote: "Happy birthday grumpy old man! Best dad, best partner, best everything!!! How lucky we are to have you! We love you." Among the pictures in the post was one of the GOAT enjoying a special Smurfs birthday cake.

Messi is currently playing for Inter Miami in the Club World Cup, where his magical free-kick in the win against Porto inspired his side's qualification into the last 16.

By finishing second in Group B, Inter Miami have set up a mouthwatering reunion between Messi and his former club PSG. They must overcome the champions of Europe to progress into the quarter-finals.
