Well over 200 hundred guest will flock to the ceremony or reception which will consist of teammates past and present.

From his fellow Barcelona teammates; Luis Suarez and Neymar to past colleagues like Cesc Fabregas and Dani Alves.

Having graduated from the famed academy, and plied his whole professional career at the Camp Nou, it comes as no surprise that the wedding guest are dominated by Barcelona associated players.

Though one former Real Madrid star does make the 260 strong guest list. According to Spanish outlet SPORT, Angel Di Maria will be at Messi's wedding.

The 29-year-old enjoyed a stint at the Bernabeu from 2011 to 2015 before moving on.

The pair are international colleagues and have previously come up against each other at club level in the iconic El Clasico.

Di Maria is now with French outfit Paris Saint-Germain having joined from a miserable spell in the Premier League with Manchester United.

Enjoy the day, Lionel!
