Messi In Hot Water? Internet, undated What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas… unless you’re Lionel Messi. The superstar footballer has found himself in hot water after being caught eyeing up a stripper while on tour in Sin City. The Barcelona striker, who last year became a dad, was pictured nuzzling the blonde dancer in a Las Vegas nightclub. The photographs, published by Argentina’s Pronto magazine, showed the £250,000 per week star with his hands wrapped around the woman’s hips while looking at her chest. The dramatic headline reads “The Photo That Puts Lionel Messi’s Marriage At Risk”. It is claimed Messi is now in crisis talks with his girlfriend Antonella Racuzzo, 25, after she saw the pictures. A source close to the magazine said: “There is nothing to suggest anything more happened but still Antonella is furious. “She can’t believe he has been so stupid and feels very let down by Leo. “Whether she’ll give him the red card or not remains to be seen but it’s fair to say the sofa may be getting a lot of use at the moment.” Alongside the pictures, Pronto wrote: “Lio and Antonella, the mother of his son Thiago, are today living through their most serious crisis.” Messi, 26, was reported to be in Las Vegas at the start of July to star as guest of honour at a party hosted by Brazilian legend Ronaldo at the Wynn Las Vegas & Encore Resort. It is understood the photographs were taken that evening. The footballer, who is preparing for next year’s World Cup in Brazil, then headed off to Chicago for the last exhibition match in his ‘Messi and Friends’ benefit tour.
