Argentina is in the race for the 2026 World Cup. But what went viral was not the match: it was Lionel Messi’s hug with journalist Sofi Martínez in the mixed zone. 🤳
For years, the rumor had been circulating after an emotional interview in Qatar 2022, and Messi decided to put an end to it with humor: he said they criticize him both if he looks at her and if he greets her. 😅 Sofi, from Telefe, shared something no one expected: Antonela Roccuzzo had contacted her privately to ask her to ignore the gossip.
Martínez, with 2.5 million followers, also pointed out something uncomfortable: she believes the speculation exists because she is a woman, and that no one would question a male colleague the same way. In the end, neither scandal nor silence: a shared laugh and a wife who chose solidarity instead of reproach. 💬
