The girlfriend of Barcelona star Lionel Messi is rumoured to be expecting the couple's second child.

Antonella Roccuzzo, 26, has been in a relationship with her fellow Argentine since 2009 and gave birth to their first child, son Thiago, back in November 2012.

According to the Daily Star, a Catalan TV presenter recently claimed that Roccuzzo is pregnant with the couple's second baby, and local media, including El Mundo, are also reporting the news.

Last night, Messi was on the winning side of a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League clash at the Etihad, but he missed a penalty in stoppage time.
