A Child Has Been Born Unto Us

Lionel Messi pulled out of the Barcelona squad Saturday (it didn't matter, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho scored and Barcelona beat Malaga 2-0) in order to be present at the birth of his third child. He and his wife Antonella shared Instagram posts indicating everything had gone well.

Tiago and Mateo have a new baby brother named Ciro.

Bienvenido Ciro !!! Gracias a Dios salió todo perfecto . La mamá y el están muy bien . Estamos súper felices !!!!!

Only eight more children to go until we can field an entire XI of Messi children who will run rampant and take over the soccer world.
