There was speculation a few
months ago that Gerard Pique had not made the cut for Lionel Messi's wedding
invite.
Spanish newspaper El Pais, as per the Daily Mail, believed that
a rift between Messi's fiancée Antonella Roccuzzo and Pique's girlfriend
Shakira meant the centre-back would not be included on the guestlist.
The two Barcelona stars have been close friends since Messi was
just 13-years-old so the Argentine was put in a potentially very awkward
position.
However, ahead of the wedding
on June 30, another Spanish publication have provided a welcome update on the
situation.
And you will be relieved to
hear that, according to Sport, Messi has invited every
single one of his Barcelona teammates - including Pique - to attend his special
day.
Of course, there is still the
possibility the Spanish international won't turn up but we can't see that
happening, can you?
Unfortunately for Messi, he has already had one notable RSVP
returned with a 'no'.
His club captain Andres Iniesta will not be in attendance,
although his reasoning is not yet known.
Recently departed Barca boss
Luis Enrique has also missed the cut, along with various members of his
coaching staff and the entire board of the Catalan giants.
To avoid being given five different toasters, Messi has come up
with a very unselfish wedding list too.
The soon-to-be 30-year-old has asked his guests to make a
donation to his foundation instead of your more traditional presents.
Messi will marry Roccuzzo in
his native Rosario, Argentina in just over two weeks' time.
The couple already have two sons with Thiago and Matteo born in
2012 and 2015 respectively.
