BAfter a bright and famous professional career, Lionel Messi has decided to share more of his family life with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their three children.
This time, the Messi family surprised all football fans by sharing a photo of an ordinary afternoon playing with a ball, but the photo still attracted the attention of followers.
Messi shelters at home while recovering from injury
Inter Miami’s captain took advantage of his recovery time after suffering a muscle strain in his left hamstring to share some happy moments with his family.
In the post he shared with his wife on his official Instagram account, just five photos of Leo and his family were enough to capture the attention of his followers as a daily routine, yet extraordinary.
In the image, the couple and their three children pose among palm trees and green grass, wearing pastel clothes by German brand Adidas that feature Lionel’s brand logo. The post’s description read, “Futbol y familia!!” (Football and family).
This simple moment of outdoor play reflects the family’s bond and the importance of soccer as part of their daily identity. Of course, the star of these scenes is also the ball that Ciro, Mateo and Thiago play with their father.
The post quickly racked up millions of likes and comments, with messages of support and love left by fans including: “The most beautiful family in the world!!!”, “Goat family” and “What a beautiful family. Love you all”.
The post emphasizes that in the Messi family, sport is not only Leo’s profession, but also an activity that unites the family.
Leo and Ant have known each other since their days wearing number 10 in Newell’s youth team, thanks to one of Roccuzzo’s teammates who was his cousin. They started dating and over time formalized their relationship and made it official. Their first child, Thiago, was born in November 2012, followed by Mateo in September 2015. Ant and Leo decided to get married in 2017, holding a wedding on June 30th, and almost a year later, in March 2028, the couple welcomed their third child, Ciro.
Meanwhile, Leo is preparing to start the new MLS season with Inter Miami on February 21st, when they will take on Los Angeles FC as the visitors at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Then, on February 26, they will play a friendly against Independiente del Valle, which was postponed due to Messi’s injury. Nevertheless, his return to training will depend on his clinical and functional evolution in the coming days.
