Eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi has admitted his life has changed since the birth of his son Thiago.
The Barcelona attacker’s partner Antonella Roccuzzo gave birth in November and Messi says he has adapted his behaviour since then.
‘My life has changed since Thiago arrived. I’m not the same man anymore,’ he told France Football.
Big change: Lionel Messi says Thiago’s arrival has changed how he thinks
‘When you have a child you just don’t think the same way anymore.’
Messi continued: ‘I wake up in the middle of the night just to see Antonella breastfeed him.
‘I bottle feed him… I behave like a normal dad who loves his son’.
Messi said the baby was the same as any other, adding: ‘he sleeps, he eats, he’s very quiet, just like his dad!’
