After the historic triumph against Brazil at Maracanã Stadium, Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi decided to take a well-deserved break with his family. In the company of his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their children Thiago, Ciro, and Mateo, the 36-year-old player is enjoying a vacation in Orlando, specifically at Walt Disney World. (VIDEO)

After an intense season with the Albiceleste and Inter Miami, Messi is taking advantage of his free time to relax and recharge. After the victory in Brazil, the footballer expressed, "I'm going to stay a few more days in Miami because the kids are going to school, but then I'll come to Argentina to enjoy the holidays with my family and friends."

Despite his attempt to go unnoticed during his visit to Disney, wearing black sportswear and accessories to blend in, fans quickly spotted him. Although neither Messi nor his wife have shared pictures of the outing on their social media, some lucky individuals managed to capture the moment and shared it online, making it go viral.

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner aims to make the most of his vacation before returning to Argentina to celebrate Christmas and New Year's in his hometown, Rosario.

Regarding his professional future, Messi plans to return to the United States to join Inter Miami's preseason on January 10, as indicated by coach Gerardo Martino. Additionally, the MLS will kick off in February, with a special friendly for Messi on the 17th of that month against Newell's, the team where he began his career.

Internationally, the Argentine national team is set to participate in the upcoming FIFA international break in March, intending to play two friendlies in Europe. Possible options include facing Portugal, reliving the World Cup final against France, or competing against teams like the Netherlands or Germany, familiar rivals from World Cup finals.
