Lionel Messi‘s debut with Inter Miami was nothing short of memorable. The anticipation surrounding his first appearance in the Pink jersey was sky-high, and Messi certainly didn’t disappoint. While the soccer world celebrated his stunning free-kick goal in the 94th minute, there was a different story unfolding for his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.

The DRV PNK Stadium erupted with enthusiasm as Lionel Messi stepped onto the pitch making his much-anticipated debut. Fans were expecting Messi’s trademark wizardry, and expectations were certainly high. The 36-year-old did deliver and despite the euphoria surrounding Messi’s goal, Antonela’s attention quickly shifted to their youngest son, Ciro Messi, who had been causing mischief throughout the match.
