Lionel Messi marks wife Antonela Roccuzzo’s birthday with a celebration – Lionel Messi took to social media to share a heartwarming snapshot of himself with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, on her birthday, just a day after delivering a dramatic last-minute equalizer for Inter Miami against the LA Galaxy.
The 36-year-old Argentine soccer star expressed his love for his childhood sweetheart on Instagram with a sweet birthday message on Monday, captioned, ‘Happy Birthday, Princess! I love you @antonelarocuzzo.’
The couple, accompanied by their three children, Thiago (11), Matteo (8), and Ciro (5), celebrated together, blowing out candles on a cake surrounded by multicolored balloons and a Pocahontas-themed cardboard sign that read ‘Happy Birthday Anto.’
Antonela, now 36, shared family photos on her Instagram, captioned with ‘Un ano mas viejita,’ translating to ‘one year older’ in English. The birthday wishes extended beyond the family, with Victoria Beckham posting a picture from a girls’ lunch, sending her warm regards to Antonela.

Messi’s on-field heroics continued as he secured a 92nd-minute goal on Sunday, rescuing Inter Miami from a potential loss in their new MLS season opener against the LA Galaxy.
The electrifying moment saw Messi execute a give-and-go pass sequence with Jordi Alba, resulting in a skillful chip shot into the net.
The highly anticipated match drew a record crowd of 27,642 fans, with thousands donning Messi jerseys. However, post-game, Kim Kardashian faced criticism for having her son, Saint West, walk out with Messi instead of a ‘less fortunate kid.’
While Inter Miami, featuring the star-studded lineup of Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Alba, is a top betting favorite for MLS success, the team is well aware of the challenges ahead. Despite winning their season opener, the rebuilding Galaxy proved to be formidable opponents.
David Beckham, Inter co-owner and former Galaxy player, played a pivotal role in MLS’ growth, and his influence continues with Inter’s ascent in the league.
The excitement surrounding Sunday’s match pleased MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who sees it as a testament to the league’s growth since 2007.
Looking ahead, Messi and his team are gearing up for an in-state away game against rivals Orlando City on Saturday. The anticipation is high as Inter Miami aims to navigate the challenges of the MLS season.
