Messi’s extravagant barbecue sends Twitter into overdrive (VIDEO)

Messi’s extravagant barbecue sends Twitter into overdrive (VIDEO)

People are in awe of Lionel Messi’s barbecue set-up after the Argentinian football star’s wife shared a video of her husband in the midst of one of his nation’s favorite past times.

Football and grilled meat are two of Argentina’s chief passions, so when Antonela Roccuzzo shared a short clip of her husband manning the grill on her Instagram story, there was always going to be a huge level of interest.

But what has captured the public’s imagination above all else is the Barcelona man’s extravagant cooking apparatus. The spaceship-like oven has unleashed a flood of reaction on social media. 

“Is Messi's grill from 2050?” one commenter asked. “You don’t know if he’s making a roast or a robot,” another person added.

The dazzling machine also spawned a plethora of memes as people compared their own “humble” barbeques to the football maestro’s behemoth.
