The excitement was palpable as Inter Miami took on Cincinnati in a gripping semifinal match for the US Open Cup. The game was a nail-biter that ultimately had to be decided through penalties, resulting in a thrilling win for the pink team. The stadium buzzed with joyous roars and celebrations as the whistle blew, confirming their place in the tournament final.
The players’ families, brimming with pride, couldn’t contain their elation and made their way onto the pitch to join the victors.
Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, was among them, accompanied by their three children. Eager to join the festivities, they enthusiastically sought out Messi amidst the crowd.
Antonella’s Mistaken Identity
In her eagerness to celebrate with her husband, Antonela mistook another player for Messi. She approached, ready for an affectionate hug and possibly a kiss. But as they got closer, both quickly realized the mix-up. It wasn’t Messi she had approached, but his teammate, Jordi Alba. With great humour, Alba and Antonela shared a warm hug and burst into laughter over the innocent blunder. The atmosphere was light-hearted, and the search for Messi continued.
