The Barcelona star finally got his hands on silverware after a frustrating end to the season, and his loved ones were there to share in the moment
As family album photos go, Saturday's snap of the Messi family celebrating Lionel and Barcelona's Copa del Rey triumph is definitely up there with the best.
The Argentine was on target for his club as they downed Alaves 3-1 to take the trophy for the third successive season.
