Messi has shared his struggle with leaving his beloved dog, Hulk, behind when he moved from Barcelona to Miami. He had welcomed Hulk as a new member of his family and regularly shared pictures and videos of him with his wife on social media. However, since 2021, Messi has been playing for PSG and had to travel back to Spain to recover from an injury, and they haven’t shared any updates on Hulk. The stress of the cross-continent move in July made Messi consider the amount of stress it would cause Hulk, who is now on the verge of needing to be put to sleep.
Messi is relaxing at his home in Barcelona with his beloved family pet, a seven-year-old Bordeaux Mastiff named Hulk.
Messi’s beloved pet, a Bordeaux Mastiff named Hulk, has reached the age of seven. Typically, these dogs have a lifespan of five to eight years, but there are some cases where they may live up to 11 years or more.
Messi spends time playing with his Bordeaux Mastiff, Hulk, at his family’s home in Castelldefels, which is situated 12 miles from Cam Nou. These dogs can grow up to 27 inches tall and weigh around 110 pounds, with a lifespan of five to eight years (though some live up to 11). Meanwhile, Messi has become the face of MLS in the US as he plays for Inter Miami CF. In an interview, he shared that his family wakes up at 7 am on school days for a group breakfast before dropping off his three sons – Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. He and his wife then return home for a nap or to catch up on their favorite shows. On other days, he heads over for a morning workout with Inter Miami. Around 3 pm, they pick up their children before taking Thiago and Mateo to soccer practice at the club’s academy. Finally, Messi revealed that his family is considering expanding, saying, “We would like it if the girl arrives.”
