LIONEL MESSI has ascended to the top of the footballing world but he is also able to fly above the clouds in his own private jet.

The luxury aircraft is ideal for the World Cup winner to fly back and forth from home in Argentina to work in Europe.

Lionel Messi has got a luxury plane

There are names on the steps of his family members and a No10 on the tail

The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Brussels several years after a technical fault was reported

Messi had the plane made by an Argentine company and it includes a number of additional extras separating it from the plane journies the public will fly on.

It boasts a number of amazing features, including its very own kitchen.

There are two bathrooms and enough seats for 16 people.

Incredibly, the chairs can also be folded up and turned into eight beds.

Unfortunately it had to make an emergency landing in Brussels three years ago due to a technical fault.

To top things off, the steps feature the names of Messi and his family – wife Antonela, plus children Thiago, Ciro and Mateo.

However, the plane – which also boasts his No10 on the tail – is not owned by the superstar, instead he leases it.

But that is sure to not bother Messi in the slightest as he continues his jet-set lifestyle.
