Lionel Messi, the Argentine icon renowned for his sheer dedication to his profession, has achieved countless accolades and honors with his club and country. The same dedication extends to his personal life; the World Cup winner is loyal to his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and is a renowned family man.
Messi and Antonela form one of the most influential celebrity couples, transcending the sporting world. Their mutual support for each other has been evident, as Antonela Roccuzzo dismissed Messi’s illegitimate affair rumors, emphasizing their strong bond. Recent allegations suggest that a comment from Messi’s Argentine teammates provoked his anger.
Lionel Messi reportedly left furious over comments about wife
Argentina’s Qatar World Cup triumph was marked as a monumental moment in La Albiceleste’s history. It was their third world title since they last lifted the prestigious trophy in 1986, led by the legendary Diego Maradona. Messi scored seven goals during the campaign to achieve the long-awaited accolade of his career.
The World Cup victory remains a glorious highlight of Messi’s entire career. It’s fair to say that his teammates played an equally important role in fulfilling the South American nation’s dream of being crowned world champions. However, according to recent reports from MARCA, one of his teammates made a disrespectful comment about Antonela, which upset Messi.
The shocking revelation was made on the television show called ‘A La Tarde’on Tartu TV, where a panelist claimed Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez’s remark on Messi’s wife during their celebration post-match in the locker room.
He claimed, “This man is a daring man, Locker room, I don’t know exactly in which match if it was in the match against the Netherlands”
“Everyone is happy because they passed, everyone in the locker room starts to sing. “What does Alejandro El Papu say? ‘Hand over Antonela!'” the panelist said. “Imagine Messi’s laser eyes … Immediate red card!”
Papu Gomez made two appearances during the World Cup campaign, and currently, he is serving a two-year ban due to drug suspicions after failing the anti-doping test during his time at the Spanish club Sevilla.

As the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner gears up for the upcoming MLS season, aiming to take Inter Miami to the playoffs after failing to advance in the previous term, Lionel Messi was spotted training with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo’s trainer ahead of the 2024 MLS season.
While Antonela Roccuzzo generally adopts a reserved stance on sharing details of their personal life on social media, she made an exception during the Christmas holiday.
Antonela unveiled Messi’s special Christmas tree decorations and the personalized gifts he received. Notably, she showcased a custom freezer with Lionel Messi’s world jersey printed on it, a thoughtful gift from Luciano, a renowned Italian ice cream maker.
