`Messy’ Messi says his home looks like a pigsty

Argentine football star Lionel Messi lives on takeaways and never cleans up.

Messi, 22, who earns more than £5,00,000 a week, says he does not like to "flash" and drives an Audi given to him by the Spanish club rather than splash out on a super car.

According to The Sun, Messi told Football Punk magazine he was also messy in the kitchen and could only rustle up sausages or burgers.

"He's an amazing footballer, but when it comes to his car and domestic chores, he's a nightmare. He leaves stuff lying around everywhere and never really thinks to clear it up. I guess he is thinking about football all the time, " a pal said.
