Gunmen have attacked a supermarket in Argentina owned by the family of Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo and left a chilling message for the soccer star.

One of the two men on a motorbike was caught on CCTV walking to the compound in Messi’s home city of Rosario, about 180 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, firing repeatedly at metal shutters on the windows and front door.

Fourteen shots are said to have been fired at the supermarket.

The attackers also allegedly left a handwritten message at the crime scene that read, “Messi, Javkin will not look after you.”

Pablo Javkin is the current mayor of Rosario, the largest city in central Santa Fe province.

A local TV station reporting on the attack claimed the report suggested criminals may have been trying to extort money from the seven-time Ballon D’Or winner.

The supermarket, which is called Supermercado Unico, belongs to Antonela’s family and is managed by one of her cousins.

It is expected to remain closed today following the firearm attack around 2 a.m.

Two people were seen riding a motorcycle before firing at the metal shutters.

Police reported that the suspects disposed of the note before leaving.

An investigation is underway.

The city is the most violent in the country, witnessed 250 murders in the first 11 months of 2022. This made it the third most violent year on record in which data was collected.

The city’s homicide rate is four times the national average and 70% of murders are associated with organized crime.

Messi owns a huge mansion on the outskirts of Rosario called ‘The Fortress’.

Built on three adjoining lots in a gated private estate, the monster site has a huge cinema, gym and underground garage with enough space for 15 cars.

He married Antonela in a glitzy wedding at Rosario’s City Center Hotel and Casino in June 2017.

Guests included former Man City striker Sergio Aguero and Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez.
