“I’m Getting a Message From My Wife” – Days Before FIFA WC Win, Lionel Messi Had a Hilarious Moment With Teammates After Being Scolded by Wife Antonela

Lionel Messi is possibly one of the best soccer players to ever exist. In 2022, the soccer legend made history after he lifted the FIFA World Cup with Argentina. Since then, he has won several awards for his phenomenal performances. Along with him in every picture is Antonela Roccuzzo, his wife. Unlike Ronaldo and Georgina, the two of them have been dating since their teenage days.

With Messi being more on the quieter side, the fans do not know a lot about the long-time celebrity couple.

The soccer veteran joined Sergio Aguero on his Twitch live stream just before Argentina’s World Cup triumph. On that live stream, the soccer fanbase witnessed quite a funny moment that simply showcased the close connection of love between Roccuzzo and Messi.

Antonela Roccuzzo publicly scolds Lionel Messi!

Along with Argentina winning the World Cup, the fans also had another wholesome clip to relish. Days before the historical day, Lionel Messi decided to tune in on Aguero’s live stream. After retiring from soccer due to a heart condition, the Manchester City legend has built an online reputation of himself as a streamer on Twitch.

During the conversation, Messi’s teammates kept interrupting him and funnily passing comments. All of a sudden, the soccer veteran’s new haircut became a subject of discussion. The viewers went berserk after viewing the same. At that moment, teammate Papu Gomez sat beside Messi. Aguero pulled out his phone to read the comments on the live stream.

He said, “Leo, in the chat they are saying that you look handsome”. At that very moment, Messi receives a text on his phone. He switches his camera off and leaves everyone in suspense. The soccer veteran then says, “I am getting a message from my wife”, as transcribed by Nueva Mujer and translated by Google Translate. Gomez peeped into his phone and laughingly said, “Anto is already scolding him for the comments”.

A moment like this just proved the close bond between the soccer veteran and his wife. However, he doesn’t only share a close bond with his family. In other words, the Argentine is extremely close to his teammates too.

Argentina’s historic triumph at the World Cup

After a disappointing start to their FIFA World Cup campaign, the Argentines picked themselves quite well after losing to Saudi Arabia. They went on to win every game after that and become World Champions. Playing a much deeper role in midfield, Messi featured in every game for the team. Their thrilling quarterfinal against Wout Weghorst’s heroics will remain fresh in everyone’s mind for quite a long time.

However, the World Cup final was truly a once-in-a-lifetime watch. The world thought that Messi had won it after scoring the third goal in extra time. However, Mbappe dragged France back into it after converting a last-minute penalty. But Argentina managed to snatch the game in the penalty shootout thanks to Emiliano Martinez’s heroics.
