BARCELONA (Agencies) - Lionel Messi has been preparing for the new La Liga season by enjoying a kick-about with his huge pet dog in his garden. The 31-year-old was granted an extended break from Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde following his participation at the World Cup for Argentina.

And with the majority of his team-mates taking part in Barca s pre-season tour of the US, Messi has been honing in on his skills with his hulking Dogue de Bordeaux.

The five-time Ballon d Or winner s wife Antonella Roccuzzo uploaded a video on her Instagram account of her beau casually flicking the ball over their pet dog Hulk.

Just like the world s most gifted defenders, two-year-old Hulk proved to be out of his depth when attempting to dispossess Messi.

Laughter can be heard from Messi s children as their dad left their beloved pet out of breath and completely bamboozled.
