Lionel Messi’s Better Half Antonela Roccuzzo Steals the Spotlight on the Sidelines
Another thrilling match, another victory for Inter Miami, and still another occasion for Lionel Messi to amaze the crowd. But this time, it wasn’t just our legendary forward who stole the limelight – his wife, the lovely Antonela Roccuzzo, managed to steal the headlines too.
As Messi watched from the stands with an injury, Antonela put on a show of her own, blowing a kiss directly down the barrel of the Apple TV camera, much to the delight of everyone around her. Fans were immediately drawn to her cheeky expression and infectious energy, and soon enough, the Twitterverse was abuzz with hashtags like #AntonelaSpotlight and #Messi’SwifeShines.
From a very young age, Antnolela has been by the side of her superstar husband, supporting and encouraging him every step of the way, including his greatest achievements such as the FIFA World Cup and more than a dozen La Liga titles with Barcelona. It goes without saying that she’s incredibly proud of the man he is.
Antonela’s antics notwithstanding, it’s clear that Messi knows he’s got a goldmine at home. With their third child together, Thiago’s birth in 2019 cementing their bond, the couple seem stronger than ever. Who knows which path this dynamic duo of Argentine sports royalty will take?
Now, while we can discuss their future plans and triumphs ad infinitum, for one evening at least, it was Antonela’s time to shine. As millions around the world tuned in for a thrilling Inter Miami match-winning goal, Antonela proved conclusively that when it comes to wit and charm, she’s no behind-the-scenes performer.
