Lionel Messi's post-match meal of choice was leaked along with the rest of his Barcelona teammates back in 2014.

Barcelona's 2014/15 campaign was a memorable one as they won a stunning treble under Luis Enrique and lifted the Champions League for a fifth time after victory over Juventus in Berlin, Germany.

The Blaugrana didn't drop many points in what was an excellent season but they did play out goalless draw away at Malaga in September.

However, the team stuck around in the hospitality suite at the Estadio La Rosaleda and got stuck in to a bizarre collection of meals.

According to a leaked document obtained by Spanish outlet Libertad Digital, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique both fancied the unusual delicacy of a Nutella sandwich while also opting for sushi and fruit respectively.

Sergio Busquets had a ham pizza as well as snacking on pineapple and strawberries, with his midfield partners Xavi and Andres Iniesta and Neymar and Luis Suarez following suit with the Italian staple.

Meanwhile, eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi kept it as simple as can be by getting a cheese pizza., which prompted plenty of reaction online.

Messi is a sweet man

We don't know a great deal about Messi's eating habits but the Inter Miami captain did admit to having something of a sweet tooth last year.

Although he isn't able to indulge too much given he's an elite-level athlete, the World Cup winner is all over chocolate and ice cream.

Asked about his favourite foods, Messi told TN30: "I am very simple when it comes to meals: asado, milanesa, pasta, chocolate, dulce de leche, ice cream… I like everything that is sweet, I’m in love with it. I try to eat little but every now and then I like it."

Messi is known to enjoy 'Mate', the traditional South American drink which plenty of his teammates are regularly seen supping before and after games.

However, he has made a slight alteration for when he drinks the beverage, revealing: "I used to drink sweet mate, but then I got used to bitter mate and now I drink bitter mate.”
