This is the touching moment Lionel Messi and his one-year-old are seen laughing together as they play a bottle flip game.

The video was recorded by Messi’s WAG Antonella Roccuzzo showing how the Argentine superstar spent part of his day yesterday (Sunday) playing with his youngest son Ciro Messi.

The video shows the Barcelona star and Ciro sitting on the floor in their pyjamas as the footballer picks up a small plastic water bottle between Ciro’s legs and throws it into the air.

The one-year-old is heard laughing enthusiastically as the bottle flips and lands on its base between the two of them.

Ciro tries to grab a hold of the bottle but his dad takes it from him as the two can be seen laughing. His dad flips the bottle back into the air moments before it is seen landing in the same spot between the two.

Ciro rushes to the bottle securing it before his footballing superstar dad can get to it. The Barcelona captain then laughs and claps his hands as Ciro puts the cap of the bottle in his mouth.

Netizens have taken to social media to praise Lionel Messi for his parenting skills.
