The 34-year-old former Barcelona hitman played football with his gigantic dog on a seven-a-side playing field at his mansion.

Messi gleefully lobbed the ball over 'Hulk' many times as the dog tried to rob the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner of the ball, which proved an exercise in futility a phenomenon which is prevalent when the Argentina captain has the ball at his feet.

After struggling to find his feet in his debut season with PSG, Leo appears to have finally made Paris home after spending over two decades of his life in Catalunya, Barcelona.

He has begun the current campaign on a superb note, scoring two goals in PSG's opening two games of the French Ligue 1 - all resulting in landslide victories.
