Lionel Messi's private jet was delayed leaving Argentina's Rosario airport due to a BOMB scare.
The 34-year-old was due to jet off to Spain for his summer holidays on Tuesday following his Copa America heroics.
But just hours before he was meant to leave his homeland, a man claimed to have a bomb in his suitcase.
Security immediately implemented their emergency protocols, evacuating the airport and suspending all flights.
The matter was resolved in under an hour, although the incident caused a serious backlog of flights.
An airport statement read: “At 11:50 am, the airport security police (PSA) activated the preventive emergency plan due to a situation of suspicion.
"The building was evacuated as a precaution."
Messi - who picked up his first international trophy last weekend - had hoped to spend a few weeks abroad with his family.
