		</div><p>Footballer Lionel Messi and his father are in court to defend themselves against tax fraud charges.</p>
<p>Wearing a dark suit and tie, the Barcelona star sat alongside his father in front of the judge during early proceedings in the third day of the trial.</p>
<p>Barcelona soccer player Lionel Messi, left, arrives at a court in Barcelona, Spain, Thursday, June 2, 2016.</p>
<p>Messi and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, are facing three counts of tax fraud and could be sentenced to nearly two years in prison if found guilty of defrauding Spain&#8217;s tax authority of €4.1 million (£3.1 million) from 2007-09.</p>
<p>They are not likely to face any jail time but could be fined and have to forfeit possible future tax benefits.</p>
<p>Some people showed their support to the Argentina international as he arrived on Thursday, while shouts for Messi to &#8220;give the money back&#8221; were also heard.</p>
