Lionel Messi is savoring his inaugural World Cup victory alongside his nearest and dearest. The 35-year-old Argentine soccer ꜱеnꜱation, who played a pivotal role with two goals in securing Argentina’s triumph over France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, experienced a heartwarming embrace from two of his sons on the field. Messi, married to Antonella Roccuzzo and a father of three boys — Mateo, Thiago, and Ciro — knelt with exuberance, joyously enveloping his sons in a tight hug, as captured in a delightful moment on camera. Adorned in purple jerseys bearing their father’s nамe and iconic number (10), the boys reciprocated the affection by wrapping their arms around Messi.
In a touching display of support leading up to the game, Messi’s son Thiago expressed solidarity by jotting down the lyrics to the song “Muchachos Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar.” Antonella, Messi’s wife, shared this heartfelt gesture on her Instagram Story, as reported by The Indian Express and Daily Mail.
Video footage captured the Argentinian soccer team singing the song in their locker rooms following their victory over Mexico in November. Since then, the song has evolved into Argentina’s unofficial anthem for the World Cup, resonating within the hearts of fans who passionately chant it during the games. Notably, it has become a cherished favorite of Lionel Messi, according to ESPN.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup final presented a formidable challenge for Argentina against France. The intense match concluded with a 3-3 tie, forcing a decisive shootout to determine the victor. In the end, Argentina emerged triumphant, securing a 4-2 score and clinching the coveted World Cup title.
After the win, Roccuzzo shared several adorable pictures of the family celebrating.
“I don’t even know how to start,” she wrote in the gallery caption. “What a great pride we feel for you @leomessi Thank you for teaching us to never give up, that we have to fιɡҺt it until the end IT WAS FINALLY DONE YOU ARE A WORLD CHAMPION, we know what you suffered for so many years, what you wanted to achieve this!!!”
