The lady who has tamed Lionel Messi. Probably.

Argentinean Playboy model Luciana Salazar and Catalonian lingerie fan Macarena Lemos have tried to tie him down in the past, but this is the lady to whom Leo Messi will dedicate the rest of his years. According to the Spanish press, Antonella Roccuzzo will wed the 21-year-old Barcelona star in their hometown of Rosario at the end of 2010.

One of Leo Messi’s extra-curricular interests

Lionel Messi is known for his sublime skill rather than his rugged good looks, but that hasn’t stopped him becoming a ladies magnet. In addition to a ‘cyber romance’ with top-heavy Argentinean Playboy model Luciana Salazar, the Barcelona star has been romantically linked to Catalan model Macarena Lemos, who may or may not be named after that incredibly annoying song.

Barcelona star should probably stick to the dayjob

When underwear manufacturers select a spokesperson and model from the world of football, they usually side with someone whose good looks and chiselled features best highlight their product. The Adonis-like bodies of David Beckham and Freddie Ljungberg are fine examples of this slightly homoerotic marketing technique.

Argentinean underwear producers Lody have not quite understood this principle, and have attempted to cut into the Calvin Klein/ Armani market share by employing the services of Leo Messi, a man whose face makes young children cry. Something tells me the slouch pose and baggy t-shirt combo will probably not have the punters rushing to emulate the greasy-haired forward. And is it me, or does it look like he’s been wearing those pants for about four days?

Still, he’s obviously doing something right, as he’s managed to land himself a Playboy model.

More slightly disturbing images after the jump.

Playboy model who is currently enjoying a ‘cyber-romance’ with fugly Barcelona star

Leo Messi isn’t the most handsome sportsman in the world, but that hasn’t stopped him pursuing Playboy model and popular Argentinean media figure Luciana Salazar. The 27-year-old blonde is currently based in Buenos Aires, so with the exception of one phone call, their relationship has thus far blossomed exclusively online.

Apparently, Leo was planning dedicate a goal to her against Brazil last week with an ‘L for Luciana/loser’ hand salute. Unfortunately, that goal never happened, and Luciana and her ginormous chest remain un-saluted.
