Still a stressless Messi told Argentine journalist Sebastián Vignolo out of all the things he enjoys there is one thing he simply does not like.
Messi hates to BBQ
Messi told Sebastián Vignolo that, “I hate to BBQ, I prefer to just join in… I have no patience for a BBQ, I have very little patience for the process”. Argentine “asados” as they are known is one of the most beloved social gatherings for families and friends in the soccer mad nation.

The process of an asado can take up as long as three to four hours to prepare. It is more of a social gathering than actual food intake, but various forms of meat, cheeses, bread, and vegetables are used to serve the dish in increments, so we get why Messi would find the process tedious.
