Four times Winner of the Ballon d’Or Lionel Messi has acknowledged that the birth of his son Thiago has altered his life.

Messi claims that since his partner Antonella Roccuzzo gave birth in November, the Barcelona forward has changed the way he acts.

Since Thiago came, my life has altered. “I’ve changed as a person,” he said to France Football.

“You just don’t think the same way after having a child.”

“I wake up in the middle of the night just to see Antonella breastfeeding him,” Messi added.

“I give him bottles.” I act like a typical father who adores his son.

Messi said that the infant was just like any other child, saying, “He eats, he sleeps, and he’s very quiet, just like his dad!”
