An Instagram user uploaded a snap and a video of the Argentine, who was walking away from the crowd as if trying to find some place to hide, with the caption “We were having lunch on the island; it appears, at the same time as Leo Messi.

Messi was later seen enjoying some downtime on a yacht with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo, children and friends.
