Argentina international and seven time Ballon d Or winner Lionel Messi may have been hammered by Ligue 1 giants PSG over his trip to Saudi Arabia, but it did not stop the former Barcelona talisman from savouring the trip with his family.
The Qatar 2022 World cup winner was pictured on the tour in a happy mood with his family as they posed with a beautiful horse and their guide.
The Saudi Ministry of Tourism published a video of the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, accompanied by his family, his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, and their children, during his visit to the capital, Riyadh.
The scenes showed the Paris Saint-Germain star taking pictures with the residents.

Because of this visit, the Parisian club decided to punish Messi and suspend him for “several days” because he did not declare it and did not attend the team’s training.
A source inside the club said that Messi “can neither train nor play and will not receive his salary while disciplinary measures are being taken.”
The current Messi versus PSG brouhaha has triggered speculation that the 35 year old may indeed be eyeing a move to Saudi Arabia where his arch rival Cristiano Ronaldo has since moved to after exiting Manchester United. Aside from possible Saudi move Barcelona are reportedly ready to have their man back if he so desires.
