Lionel Messi and his family recently spent £12 million on a private jet.

The Barcelona forward has leased the aircraft, which includes a few personal additions, to traverse the world in comfort and luxury.

The No. 10, which is associated with the Argentine, now bears the fin of the craft.

The names of every member of the Messi family, including his wife Antonela and their three young sons Thiago Ciro and Mateo, are etched on the stairs leading up to the main cabin.

The luxurious interior is fitted with reclining chairs as well as screens at every seat 

Reports state that the aircraft has two bathrooms, a kitchen, and sixteen seats that can be folded to create eight bedrooms.

Messi, who is playing for the Catalan powerhouses in the Champions League for the fifteenth consecutive season, came off the bench during Barcelona’s 1-1 tie with Tottenham on Tuesday night.

With his most recent acquisition, he hopes to become more comfortable, but his old adversary has pushed him to push himself farther.

‘No, maybe it’s him who misses me,’ Cristiano Ronaldo said when asked recently if he missed the Argentine after he moved to Juventus.

While he is still in Spain, I have played for my national team as well as in England, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.

Perhaps he is more in need of me. I appreciate a challenge, and I enjoy making other people happy.

I see nothing here, yet he’s a great player and a decent man. I’m content with my new existence.

Here in Turin, I took on this challenge by stepping outside of my comfort zone. I’ve demonstrated that I’m still a terrific player, and everything has gone smoothly.

It’s unclear if Messi will follow Ronaldo to a new challenge with his new possession.
