Unknown people shot at a family business of owned by football legend Lionel Messi.
The duo also left behind a threatening message on the ground aimed at the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.
The targeted supermarket belongs to the family of Lionel Messi's wife.
"Messi, we're waiting for you. Javkin is a narco, he won't take care of you," said the handwritten message left on the ground by the men who shot 14 bullets into the supermarket's metallic facade in the early hours of Thursday.
Pablo Javkin, the mayor of Messi's hometown, Rosario, where the supermarket is located, some 320 kilometres northwest of Buenos Aires confirmed the incident.
He says the attack was to "to create chaos in the city."
He says the attackers knew attacking Messi would go viral easily.
A witness confirmed seeing the two men arrive on a motorbike just before 3:00. One of them got off, fired the shots, dropped the note and they both fled.
"This has been going on for some time.
We have five security forces operating in Rosario yet they can do this because no one is chasing them." said Javkin.
Provincial police assistant chief Ivan Gonzalez told Cadena 3 television station that the message was "not a threat" but rather an attempt to "attract attention."
He said no one was hurt since there was no one on the premises at that hour.
