Lionel Messi had a Christmas present for the newly married couple

Antonela Roccuzzo had a wedding in her family. Her sister Carla Roccuzzo got married in Rosario in a church on the 23rd of December. However, reports claim that Lionel Messi was not present at the wedding. Antonela was present with their three children at the chapel.
