LIONEL MESSI wore a protective boot as he enjoyed his summer holiday with wife Antonela Roccuzzo... and pal Luis Suarez.
Messi and Antonela made the most of the Miami shoreline as they enjoyed a boat ride after the Copa America.
But as they chilled on a boat, Messi was still in his protective footwear, courtesy of the injury he suffered at the Copa America.
Luckily it did not seem to stop the fun.
The Messis were joined by old Barcelona, and current Inter Miami team-mate, Luis Suarez and his wife Sofi Balbi.
Antonela and Sofi had both been at the Copa America in the US to support their husbands in potentially their final international tournament, albeit on rival sides.

Messi added another trophy to his glittering collection as Argentina then beat Colombia 1-0 in the final.
But it was not straightforward for Messi, who was forced off with a nasty looking ankle injury.
