Lionel Messi enjoys his downtime with his wife of six years, Antonela Roccuzzo as the couple are seen playing around with a couple of video filters. Both are seen in the photo with their eyes enlarged, glasses on and only the Argentine World Cup winner has ‘bear ears’ on top.

After ending his MLS season with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is taking a break and engaging in various activities. He’s filmed lengthy videos with Adidas and Zinedine Zidane, gaining millions of views in days. On weekends, Messi enjoys family time since he’s not playing. Recently, during a friendly match against New York City FC, he proudly displayed his 8th Ballon d’Or to the Miami crowd, and the club featured a special insignia on the jersey in his honor.

Twitter reacts to Lionel Messi in the ‘bear’ filter

Lionel Messi’s image of himself in a ‘bear filter’ has gone viral for just how absurd it is. Many have claimed that the player himself might sometimes forget that he is a legend of the football game but is taking such ‘silly photographs. A tiny section of fans has also used this to compare Lionel Messi and his wife to Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner. With all that said let’s have a look at what ‘football Twitter’ has to say about all this.

Lionel Messi’s early Instagram posts show a ‘hint of personality’ which is absent from many professional players who have their social media accounts handled by a third-party company. However, now with his accounts being handled more professionally, this is the only way for fans to see a more private side of him, through his wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
