It’s official: there will be another Messi arriving on the planet very soon.Algeria's Echorouk sports site noticed immediately that Benjamin is also the name of the prime minister of Israel!
Lionel Messi confirmed he will become a father for the second time after the Barcelona star uploaded a picture of his pregnant girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, onto Instagram on Thursday to confirm the news.
In the photo, the 27-year-old’s son young Thiago was seen kissing Roccuzzo’s stomach alongside the words ‘Waiting for you baby! We love you’.
The news comes after rumours began spreading that Messi was expecting another child and, in particular, a second son following a report in Argentine outlet Clarin.
The publication claimed the boy will be called Benjamin and could be born at the end of the year.
Its headline is "Messi chose a Jewish name for his new son."
In case you don't get the point, the story is illustrated with this photo of Messi visiting the Kotel a couple of years ago, right next to rabbi who looks particularly Jewy.
