Lionel Messi takes to the pitch with a real swagger and he'll be flying in style with a new state-of-the-art private jet.
The luxury aircraft has been custom-made by an Argentinian company as per Argentine website Doble Amarilla, via Goal.
It's said he has leased the plane as opposed outright purchasing it straight away but it looks as though he and his family and friends will getting their money's worth.
Of course, the £12 million jet had to have Messi's iconic No.10 printed on the rudder of the plane but he's also got the names of all his family members on the steps that lead onto it.
It features the names of the man himself, his wife, Antonella, and their three children, Thiago, Ciro and Mateo.
The plane, which is a 2004 Gulfstream V model, also contains a kitchen, two bathrooms and 16 seats that can be converted into eight beds if anyone fancies a bit of kip whilst in the air.

As per usual, Messi has been flying high this season with 17 goals and ten assists so far this season and made our jaws drop in the 4-0 drubbing of Catalan rivals Espanyol at the weekend - scoring two superb free-kicks in the very same game.
