Lionel Messi withdrew from Barcelona's game at Malaga on Saturday before the birth of his third child.

Barcelona said the forward would miss the game for "personal reasons" and replaced him with defender Yerry Mina.

Messi, 30, later posted a picture of his baby boy's hand, writing "Welcome Ciro".

 

Bienvenido Ciro !!! Gracias a Dios salió todo perfecto . La mamá y el están muy bien . Estamos súper felices !!!!!❤️❤️
