Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo caused quite a stir among fans with her mischievous actions on the sidelines during Inter Miami’s recent match. Antonela, 36, was sitting next to Messi in the stands as the team secured a 2-0 win over Cincinnati in the MLS.

Although Messi, currently injured, did not take part in the game, he was the centre of attention for the cameras throughout the match. However, it was Antonela, his childhood sweetheart, who really made a splash by being at his side.
The social media star noticed that Apple TV cameramen were paying close attention to her and her husband, and decided to play up the situation, blowing a kiss directly at the camera.
Fans were delighted by his cheeky gesture and quickly reacted on social media. One user wrote: “So lovely.” Another added: “Ideal couple.” A third commented: “Wow, what a beautiful six-second video.” A fourth even claimed Messi was “winning at life.”
Antonela and Messi have known each other since they were just five years old. Although it is not known exactly how long they have been together, they went public with their relationship in 2008. The happy couple now have three children and have accompanied Messi from Barcelona to Paris and, most recently, to Miami for his MLS adventure.
Messi has been at the Florida club for over a year, where he has made 29 appearances and recorded 41 goal contributions during that time.
