A photo for which Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi posed, with a fan, has created a social media stir, having gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

Apparently, Messi’s right knee in the picture looks in a weird shape, almost over-protruding and swollen and that has left many people scratching their heads.

The Argentine sensation is currently on a holiday with his fiancé, Antonella Roccuzzo, his kids, former Barca team-mate Cesc Fabregas and his family in Ibiza.

He, according to reports is set to marry Antonella this month itself in Argentina, where many of his Barcelona team-mates will also be present.

And while the little genius is enjoying his vacation off the pitch, we hope he is in fine shape and raring to go next season.
