Lionel Messi's love affair with the round leather object - football - might possibly run deeper than his affinity for his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.

In a video posted on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, Leo Messi was engaged in a fun moment with his pet dog Hulk.

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.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that it appears tranquillity has found its place in the camp of Paris Saint-Germain following a series of reports suggesting power struggles between the club's prima donnas - Mbappe, Neymar and Messi.

News from France revealed a rapidly deteriorating relationship between the attacking trident, with reports indicating Neymar and Messi have joined forces to reduce the 'authority' of Mbappe in the dressing room.

But the latest video from a training session ahead of their weekend top liner against Lille, shows calm heads have prevailed at the club.
