Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo are undeniably among the most adorable couple in the sporting world. The duo is extremely lowkey and is the literal embodiment of cuteness when together. Both are known for always being calm and composed with an ever-shining smile on their face. However, in what can be termed as a rare occasion, a recent incident saw Antonela unleashing her darker side, and rightly so.

Antonela Roccuzzo seethes at Messi fans for mobbing her vehicle

As the Messi family stepped out of the clothing store, a wave of fans greeted them, awaiting to catch a glimpse of the seven-time Ballon d’Or. The thrill of seeing Messi was so crazy that as soon as Leo came out of the door, people started throwing themselves at him. This clearly irked Antonela.

As seen in the video, it was a struggle for Roccuzzo and the kids to get inside the car, which was parked just outside the entrance of the store. As she closed the door of the car, the grumpiness on her face was clearly visible, and rightly so.

Lionel Messi and Antonela have been together since 2007

Lionel Messi first met Antonella as a child when he was 5 years old. The duo instantly hit off and became friends. Unfortunately, in the year 2000, Messi left his hometown for Barcelona, where he started his soccer training at an early age. The duo still tried to be in contact but didn’t succeed.

But as fate would have it, the duo reunited under tragic circumstances. When Antonel was 17, she lost her best friend to an accident which devastated her. She stopped leaving her house and attending school. As soon as Messi knew this, he flew back to comfort her.
