There was something Lionel Messi never left behind, not even when the whole world was watching him: the girl from Rosario he grew up with. 🥹


Antonela Roccuzzo, also 38 years old, came into his life thanks to a cousin who was friends with little Leo. What began as a childhood friendship turned into a story that spanned fame, titles, and three continents. They got married on June 30, 2017 in what Argentina called “the wedding of the century”, and since then they have formed a family of five: Thiago (2012), Mateo (2015), and Ciro (2018), three distinct personalities who share the same last name and the same number one fan.

Barcelona, Paris, Miami — the family followed every stage without losing the thread. What stands out most is not the millions or the trophies, but what has always been there: two people who chose each other before knowing what they would become. 💛
