ROSARIO, Argentina (AP) — Lionel Messi arrived back in Argentina on Tuesday for a few days of rest following the World Cup final loss to Spain.
Messi’s private jet landed near his hometown of Rosario from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at 6:27 a.m. Although many fans were waiting with signs and flags, he did not make a public appearance.
Supporters only caught a brief glimpse of the SUV that met Messi on the tarmac to transport him and his family to the private neighborhood of Funes, roughly 300 kilometres (185 miles) north of Buenos Aires.
