Argentina's talisman and captain Lionel Messi has been filmed continuing his post-World Cup celebrations as he danced at his niece's 15th birthday party.
Messi, 35, was instrumental in Argentina's triumph in Qatar - scoring seven goals and generally putting the team on his back as the country claimed its first World Cup triumph since 1986.
The anthem that went alongside Argentina's eventual triumph was a version of the 2003 song 'Muchachos' by La Mosca Tse-Tse, called 'Muchachos, Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar', Boys, now we have hope again.

A tournament that was earmarked by a startling lack of travelling supporters from many countries, Argentina's supporters brought numbers - reported to be around 40,000 - and colour to Qatar, accompanied largely by an alteration on that particular song.
The song has been adapted for years in Argentinian football stadiums, with various clubs putting their own spin on the anthem.
In an interview with Billboard magazine, the group's lead singer, Guillermo Novellis, said hearing Messi sing the song was like 'going to Rome and being introduced to the Pope'.
