Lionel Messi, the renowned Argentine soccer player, has been making his fans’ dreams come true since joining Inter Miami. With an impressive record of 8 goals and 1 assist in just 5 matches, Messi has undoubtedly brought magic to the MLS. However, his recent performance not only amazed the crowd but also hindered a joyous celebration for the wife of another Argentine soccer legend.

Diego Latorre, a well-known figure in the world of soccer, is often revered for his skills on the field. However, his wife Yanina Latorre, an Argentine media personality,  recently made headlines for a different reason. She questioned the merits of Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, which created quite a stir in the media. Little did she know that Roccuzzo’s partner would play a role in thwarting her plans for a special day.

She expressed her opinion that without Lionel Messi, Antonela Roccuzzo would not have achieved anything on her own. Yanina stated, “Antonela Roccuzzo, we love her, but she is Messi’s wife. She is hired by brands in Europe to advertise, but all because she is married to Messi. Alone, so far, she has achieved nothing”. These really are some eye-brow-raising comments from Latorre.
