MESSI BOUGHT NOISY NEIGHBOUR'S HOUSE

Noisy neighbours can be frustrating but when you're Lionel Messi, you can just buy their house. That's what the Barcelona star did in 2013, according to teammate Ivan Rakitic. The Argentine superstar lives in the fashionable suburb of Castelldefels and has team-mate Luis Suarez living nearby, but found some rowdy neighbours were making life difficult for Messi and his young family. Rakitic, who lives in the same plush neighbourhood, told Spanish newspaper Dairio Gol: "I did not have any problems with my neighbours, unlike Messi in Castelldefels, who had to buy the house from the neighbours because they were noisy and so he could be alone." Reportedly, Messi's neighbours were "rude" and played loud music which resulted in "unease" for Messi and his young family. They also rented out the house to star-spotters who would peek into Messi's house. Messi initially tried to install a dividing wall but the structure didn't meet building regulations so he just gave up and bought the house instead.     –Agencies
