The World Cup final has come to an end. In the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, Messi represented Argentina and won the Hercules Cup amid the cheers and crowds of people. Argentina and Messi finally won the World Cup championship that they have dreamed of for 36 years.
2022 will be Messi’s fifth and last time participating in the World Cup.
People say that competitive sports always have more regrets than success, but Messi, who brought back the World Cup championship, wrote his most perfect ending poem.
Almost every Argentine player's career is accompanied by the dream of the World Cup, and among the celebrating crowd, we also saw the gentle supporter who has accompanied Messi for most of his life and watched him go through ups and downs - Messi's wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
Everyone was rushing to take pictures with Messi, but Messi smiled stupidly and gave the trophy, which symbolized the supreme honor, to his beloved wife. He became a green leaf and took beautiful photos of his wife on the side.
Antonella, who shared the joy of Argentina’s victory for the first time, was naturally in a super good mood:
The two kissed and hugged under the gaze of hundreds of millions of fans around the world:
0 years ago, Antonella must have never thought that the shy little boy from her neighbor would stand on the podium with her on the World Cup podium and listen to the cheers and blessings of thousands of people.
She would never have expected that she would now be the controller behind Messi’s multi-billion dollar personal brand, the wife of the Argentinian football king and the person he loves most in his life.
Antonella and Messi have a completely different style of love story from most stars. They didn’t brush up on each other on Instagram, nor did they meet at a gorgeous party, but they had a lovely beginning like a fairy tale.
In 1993, 6-year-old Messi was still living in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina. Messi and Lucas are teammates of the " Newell's Old Boys " children's football team. The two grew up playing together.
That summer, Lucas invited Messi to play together. Messi saw a girl he had never seen before at Lucas' house.
"Who is she?"
"My cousin Antonella."
After becoming a superstar, Messi will still admit unabashedly in interviews that he fell in love with Antonella at first sight.
Messi, Antonella and Lucas often played together and chased each other in the street. At that time, they were just playmates.
htmlWhen she was 19 years old, Antonella came to Lucas's house as a guest again. Although Antonella only stayed for two days that time, Messi had already realized that he had fallen in love with this girl.
He was very shy and did not dare to talk to Antonella directly, so every time he would find various reasons to hang around Lucas' house, just to look at her.
Even Lucas's father saw Messi's little thoughts. He said: "Messi doesn't want to leave her for a second."
During the weekends, Messi often wrote love letters to Antonella and said that when they grow up, Antonella will definitely become his girlfriend.
Antonella also developed a secret affection for Messi, and she would keep in touch with Messi when she left Rosario.
Although Antonella is not interested in football at all, she often goes to Newell's Old Boys Club to watch little Messi play.
When Messi was 11 years old, he learned the bad news from his doctor - he had been diagnosed with a growth hormone disorder, which might threaten his rising football career.
After his father's efforts, Messi finally got the opportunity to sign with the team. He had to work hard to play and treat at the same time.
For the dream of football, 13-year-old Messi left his hometown and went to the distant Barcelona, Spain.
Messi's departure made both him and Antonella think that their relationship would become history as they grew up. They are ready to relegate those wonderful childhood days to a somewhat regretful but wonderful memory.
During this period, they returned to the relationship of ordinary friends. Although they would still contact each other, they did not have the courage to imagine a common future. However, sometimes fate is full of coincidences.
Five years later, a tragedy brought Antonella to the point of collapse. Her best friend died in a car accident. Antonella told Messi the news. What she didn't expect was that Messi immediately bought her a ticket back to Argentina, just to comfort her.
The spark of childhood crush rekindled after that meeting, and they finally decided not to go against their will and became a pair of young lovers.
Antonella was only 18 years old at the time, and her dream was not to become the rich wife of a top star. She was admitted to the National University of Rosario to study nutrition , and then started studying for postgraduate studies in dentistry, hoping to become a dentist in the future.
Due to their long-distance relationship, Messi and Antonella have few opportunities to meet, and they have also experienced separation and reunion. In 2009, when a reporter asked Messi if he was in love, Messi still firmly and proudly said: Yes, my girlfriend is in Argentina, and our relationship is very good..
A few months later, Antonella appeared at Messi's celebrations after playing in the Barcelona derby, and the relationship became public.
Antonella appeared in the stands in this World Cup
Just like Messi was willing to fly back to Argentina for Antonella many years ago, Antonella also made important decisions when difficulties arose. In 2010, Messi and the Argentina national team failed in the World Cup in South Africa and were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Messi accepted questions and ridicules from fans all over the world during that time. Antonella chose to move to Barcelona to live with Messi and accompany him through the most difficult time.
The young couple who ended their long-distance relationship became inseparable. Messi said that what he looks forward to most every day is to go home and see Antonella after playing football. When I'm not playing football, I'm very happy staying at home with Antonella.
Messi has many tattoos on his body, including several belonging to Antonella. He has Antonella's birthday on his leg, Antonella's red lips tattooed on his abdomen, and Antonella's eyes on his arm.
There is also a couple crown tattoo with Antonella:
In 2012, the two welcomed their eldest son Thiago, and in 2015 their second son Mateo was also born. At the age of 30, Messi entered into marriage with his childhood goddess Antonella.
Argentinian media called this a grand wedding of the century. Among the 260 guests, football superstars Neymar , Suarez, Gerrard were all present to congratulate. Colombia Pop queen Shakira also shared the joy with the new couple.
Antonella walked into the venue wearing a wedding dress customized by Barcelona designer Rosa Clara, used by the Queen of Spain.
Antonella still held the marriage certificate in her hand
Messi said a very touching words to Antonella at the wedding:
" All the honors I have received cannot compare with my 21 years of love for her. What makes me happiest is not how many goals I have scored, but that the person I loved when I was 9 years old has always been by my side.”
Of course, beside them was their chubby son who was a flower girl. On this night that belonged to them, the two shared a gentle and lingering song in front of the guests. Dance, just like their relationship for many years - there is no bloody drama in , only companionship and love Gouzi.
Antonella often takes her children to watch games:
After Messi wins, he is always the first to share his joy with Antonella. This has never changed in the many years that the two have been in love.
After Argentina won the America's Cup last time, they couldn't wait on the field. A video call to my wife is pending.
Messi also sat on the lawn and chatted with Antonella and the children, showing his medals to his wife from time to time. At this moment, it seems that he does not need the recognition of the world, only a little happiness.
Even though she is already a parent of three children, Antonella will still jump excitedly to Messi when they reunite after leaving home to participate in a game.
Messi described Antonella as always making people happy. She was smart, optimistic and excellent in all aspects of life.
Messi also said that he often experiences difficulties on the court, and sometimes he is irritable and uncontrollable, but as long as he sees Antonella and the children, he can instantly calm down and become stable and happy. The worries of losing and the pressure of the game will be swept away because of Antonella.
The casual Antonella did not become The wife of a football superstar has changed a lot.
Although she has long been a billionaire, Antonella is not very interested in buying luxury brand-name clothes and bags or collecting jewelry, so she leaves a very good impression on others.
She works hard to manage her and Messi's personal image in her free time. In the summer, she always volunteers at the SJD Hospital in Barcelona.
Their wedding, although luxurious, did not receive much criticism because Antonella advocated not Instead of wasting the food from the wedding, donate it to a "food bank" for poor Argentines to enjoy.
Antonella also runs her own shoe brand. She and Suarez's wife Sofia became business partners, and the two successfully promoted the brand in Spain. She also provides advice and ideas for Messi's personal brand.
Although the hot figure Antonella signed a modeling contract, she has no interest in becoming a star. Interesting. For most of her life, Antonella deliberately stayed out of the spotlight.
She is also one of the rare sports star wives who insists on doing housework and taking care of the children by herself. She prefers to enjoy a quiet family life. Of course, she only needs to occasionally accept a few ads on Instagram to earn huge income.
Guerlain Belle and LV have offered her olive branches. People like her sexy and approachable smile.
She and Messi have properties all over the world, and they often live in a mansion outside Barcelona, overlooking the Catalan mountains and the beautiful Mediterranean scenery.
Of course, the moment she and Messi held the Hercules Cup, the happiness of realizing their childhood dreams had already surpassed the billions of dollars in their bank accounts.
Messi has written the most perfect ending for his brilliant career, and Antonella has witnessed it all the way.
Messi said that he will not retire immediately and he will continue to play football, but he is also prepared for life after retirement.
In his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, Messi bought a house called "Fortress". The mansion has 25 rooms, including a playroom where the three sons can play together.
The most important thing is that this is the beginning of Messi’s football career and the beginning of the long-distance love between Messi and Antonella.
Even with countless honors, medals, and gold cups appearing in their lives, Messi and Antonella will still return to their true nature.
Some people may think that this kind of life seems a bit too plain for football superstars, but after seeing all the glitz, they still choose to spend the rest of their lives tenderly with their lovers, which is precisely the value of their relationship.
I hope Antonella and Messi will continue to be happy ~
