Lionel Messi left chilling message by gunmen in attack on wife's family's supermarket

Gunmen have attacked a supermarket in Argentina owned by the family of Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and left a chilling message for the football star.

One of two men on a motorbike was caught on CCTV walking up to the premises in Messi’s home city of Rosario and firing repeatedly at metal shutters over the windows and front door. More than half a dozen shots were fired at the supermarket.

The attackers also left a handwritten message at the scene which said: "Messi. We are waiting for you. Javkin is a narco. He's not going to look after you." Local reports said football hooligans known in Argentina as barrabravas could be behind the attack.
