Leo Messi showed his most personal side in an interview with Luzu TV where he revealed some of his quirks and what the Argentine is like away from the football pitch: "I'm weirder than shit. I really like being alone, I enjoy being alone," he said.

"The mess at home with the three kids running around everywhere ends up saturating me and I like a moment of solitude," he said.

The Argentine star admitted that he does not cope well with setbacks or last-minute changes of plans: "I'm very structured, if I have the day organised in a certain way and in the middle something happens that changes everything for me...," he said.

When asked what things made him feel strange, Messi referred the question to his partner: "Antonella can say many more things than I can, it depends on my mood on many things, on small stupid things," he said.
