While Messi plays the 2026 World Cup on the field, Antonela Roccuzzo fought her own battle on social media. On June 25, she posted an Instagram story with a direct message for Venezuela: “My thoughts and prayers are with all the people affected by the terrible situation Venezuela is facing right now.” 🙏
The day before, two earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 struck the country’s northern coast barely a minute apart.
La Guaira was declared a disaster zone. At least 188 people died, more than 1,520 were injured, and seven Venezuelan soccer players remain missing. The aftershocks have not stopped: there have already been 138.
Along with her message, Antonela included a donation link titled “Help for Venezuela”, joining figures such as Ricardo Montaner, J Balvin, and Carlos Baute. Her gesture has already amassed millions of reactions. 🙏
