Most of Messi’s Barcelona team are expected to attend according to Spanish newspaper Sport, though Andres Iniesta is apparently unable to make the event.
The newspaper reports that a number of the club’s backroom staff including physios and doctors have also been invited, though there are some glaring omissions on the guestlist.
Among those who apparently didn’t make the cut are former manager Luis Enrique and members of the club’s board, in order to avoid any conflict between former presidents Sandro Rosell and Joan Laporta.
Messi and Roccuzzo are to marry on June 30 in his hometown of Rosario in Argentina.
