The soccer world often makes the public overwhelmed not only by the players’ talent on the field, or how much they can afford to spend on daily activities, but also because of the speed at which they “change lovers like changing shirts”. . For that reason, Messi is even more “rare” in world football with his love story of more than 2 decades with his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.

Messi and Antonella first met when they were both still children (Messi was 9 years old and Anotela was 8 years old), thanks to male player Lucas Scaglia – Antonella’s cousin. At that time, Messi and Lucas were playing games together when Antonella approached and asked if they both needed anything. However, Messi was too shy to answer her. For the next two days, the young player could not take his eyes off his new friend for even a second. The two quickly became close and soon realized their feelings for each other. From that moment, Messi knew that he wanted to spend his whole life with this girl.

No different from today’s “chicken” love stories, the number 10 player surprised many people with his cuteness as he stood in front of Lucas’s house every day hoping to see his lovely sister again. often wrote letters to her promising that when they grew up, Antonella would be his girlfriend.

However, in 2000, the couple had to say goodbye to each other because Messi had to move with his family to Spain to pursue his dream on the field after officially joining the Barcelona club. Although the two later tried to keep in contact with each other, the means of communication at that time were not yet developed and the distance was too great, causing their contacts to become less frequent. Some sources said that while Messi was diligently practicing for his journey to become the greatest player in the world, his friend Antonella also had a new boyfriend.

Five years later, Messi received news that Antonella’s boyfriend had passed away in a serious traffic accident and she was very devastated by this great loss. Young Messi quickly booked the earliest plane ticket to return to his old girlfriend to comfort and encourage her spirit. Since then, Messi has become a strong spiritual support for Anotella and the “chemical reactions” between the two have become more and more intense, but they still decided to keep quiet.

Afterwards, Messi returned to Barcelona and Antonella also began studying dentistry at Rosario National University. Antonella’s friend revealed that the couple’s relationship began in July 2007. But it wasn’t until 2009 that the media “discovered” this sweet love story through Messi’s interview answers.

Later, Anotella also moved to Barcelona to reunite with her lover and start building a small home together. In 2012, the couple welcomed their first son Thiago Messi. 3 years later, Anotela and Messi continued to welcome their second child Mateo Messi – a character who would later become a true anti-fan of his father, giving Messi a headache. By 2018, the greatest player’s small family was truly complete with the birth of his youngest son – Ciro.

In response to his “wife’s” great sacrifices, Messi gave the beautiful Argentinian girl a grand wedding at the hotel with more than 260 guests who were friends and other famous players such as Neymar and Luis. Suarez and Gerard Pique,…

In a 2019 interview, Messi did not hesitate to praise his “roof”: “I love everything about Antonela. She always puts herself in a good mood and the way she faces problems is admirable. Antonella is a very intelligent person in every aspect of life.”

Even though we know that every love story will go through many difficulties, Messi and his wife always make the whole world admire because they always go through all the storms together and are always present in most of their important events. enemy. It can be seen that, even though she is not a “hardcore fan” of the king’s sport, Antonella has been present with her children since her husband’s first matches at the harshest playground on the planet, the 2022 World Cup. The “stressful, nerve-wracking” match on the field between Messi, Anotella and the children in the stands was equally thrilling.

And the football genius talent of player number 10, Messi, once again made the whole world admire after his extremely impressive goals in the last final night. This is also the last time Messi competes at the World Cup. However, his small family had happier moments after Argentina’s historic goal and helped Messi complete a set of noble titles for players.

Up to now, Messi is the player who has won the most collective titles (45 titles), holding a series of world football records. The Argentine superstar himself is also satisfied with what he has done so far.

“I never imagined myself to have such a fulfilling career. I know I’ve been very lucky. You know it’s very difficult to accomplish every goal in football. I’ve achieved it very much. many titles, both collective and individual. But I also had to experience many unforgettable failures, especially with the Argentina team. The important thing is that I did not give up, stood up to win the Copa America and then World Cup,” Messi shared.
