When put on the scale to compare the talents of Ronaldo and Messi, it may be difficult to know who is better and who is worse. But if we don’t talk about football or achievements but only consider our love life, perhaps Messi is better than CR7.

While CR7 is known as a womanizer, loving countless people before finding perhaps his final destination, Messi, from when he was just a boy until he became famous, has always had only one love . for his childhood friend whom he had a crush on.

On a sunny day at the end of June in his hometown of Rosario, Lionel Messi officially held a wedding with his beautiful bride Antonella. The 9-year-old boy can now smile brightly, confidently give his long-time lover a title, welcome her hand on the altar, and read their vows like any other couple. On that beautiful day, people will see Lionel Messi a bit awkward and awkward when he puts on the groom’s suit, holds Antonella’s hand, and gives the mother of his children a title.

A “wedding of the century”, as the Argentinian press called Lionel Messi’s wedding, took place as sophisticated and flashy as a movie awards ceremony, somewhat different from the simple, less formal image of Messi. Noisy as usual. 

But looking at it from another angle, Messi probably wants to take advantage of the wedding and organize a big party for his wife Antonella Roccuzzo in the most worthy way she can receive. Antonella and the two boys, Thiago and Mateo, are like the final pieces of Messi’s happy family.

At this time, people began to be curious about the woman who held M10’s heart and were even more surprised when they had a love that lasted for… 20 years before getting married.

Messi and Antonella grew up in the same neighborhood, 1 year apart. The first time Messi met his other half was when he was 4 years old, but they rarely had the opportunity to interact with each other. There is a small gap between the two. Even though they are all middle class in Rosario, the Messi family is still difficult to compare with the Roccuzzo family.

Antonella’s father owns a fairly large supermarket. Meanwhile, Messi’s parents are both ordinary workers.

The two’s relationship began in 1996. During a visit to the house of his friend Lucas, who was part of the Newell’s Old Boys training facility with him, the 9-year-old Messi fell in love with Lucas’s cousin from the moment he was born. First look – that girl is Antonella.

Not confiding in anyone, including his close friend Lucas, Messi committed to his heart by writing on a blank piece of paper and keeping it in a private corner (later discovered). “One day, Antonella will be my girlfriend.”

At the age of 13, Messi left Rosario to go to Barcelona to fulfill his dream of playing for the Catalan team, leaving Antonella with budding feelings in his hometown. After Messi suffered from growth hormone deficiency, El Pulga’s entire family moved to Europe to take care of him. During the holidays, Messi had the opportunity to return to Rosario. 

At that time, while in school, Antonella had feelings for another young man, also a neighbor in Rosario. Antonella was “in love” with that guy for 3 consecutive years, until the young girl encountered a sad incident.

A very close friend of Antonella passed away after a tragic traffic accident, causing her to mentally collapse. Quite coincidentally, Messi – who is an excellent young star for Barca – decided to fly back to his hometown to be with his friend.

Messi did it very naturally, without planning anything, and also without remembering the commitment paper that only he knew when he was 9 years old. Since then, the two began to contact more often, and their relationship gradually grew closer. At this time, true love blossomed between them, not just the sudden emotions of youth.

However, because Barca’s No. 10 striker is always the center of attention from the press, the two decided to keep this love story a secret. Both Messi and Antonella want to spend peaceful moments of love like any other normal couple, but they don’t like having to appear in the newspaper every few days or half a month.

It wasn’t until January 2009 that the owner of four Ballon d’Ors publicly revealed to a TV channel in Spain that he had a girlfriend. “She lives in Argentina, I’m very happy,” Messi happily shared. However, at that time, M10’s secret girlfriend had not yet been revealed, no one knew exactly which lucky girl was the player’s lover.

It was not until 2010, before the World Cup in South Africa, that their love story became public. Antonella has moved to Catalunya and lives in the same house with Messi.

And then after 20 years of waiting, standing side by side with the football player and giving birth to two adorable children, Antonella was finally rewarded with a grand wedding with the participation of many famous people as part of her family. Messi’s way of expressing his affection and gratitude to his girlfriend.

But perhaps many people will not help but wonder, what kind of girl is Antonella really, able to make M10 around so many beautiful girls, once having feelings for many hot girls, but in the end Still just going back to my first love.

As the life partner of a soccer superstar, Antonella has no love or understanding of this king sport. For her, watching a super classic match is even more boring than watching an entertainment program on television. Messi himself once revealed in Corriere della Sera magazine: “She doesn’t like football. Many times when I came home, I excitedly boasted that I had scored 2 or 3 goals, but she didn’t seem to be very interested. However, in my important matches, she is never absent from the Nou Camp field.”  

Even though she is not a soccer fan, Antonella still took the trouble to take her children to the stadium to cheer for her famous boyfriend. 

In the past, it was because of Messi that Antonella first studied Nutrition in Argentina, then moved to Barcelona to be with her boyfriend and follow his travels everywhere. Many people may think that Antonella was too blind to leave her studies unfinished to follow the call of love. But proof shows that it was the right decision when she has now become the “first lady” of soccer. And even though she abandoned her studies in Argentina, it did not mean that Antonella stopped studying, she still continued her educational career and improved her knowledge.

Throughout Messi’s career, through ups and downs, she was accused of this and that, but she was always by his side, a great source of support for him to overcome obstacles.

It is true that in terms of personality and interests, his beautiful wife Antonella is not “compatible” with Messi, but she always brings him a harmony in her soul that makes him not want to leave.

Ever since she was Messi’s girlfriend, Antonella was ready to give up studying that she didn’t love to follow her boyfriend’s footsteps. And then when she gave birth to Messi’s first son, even though she had no title, the beautiful girl was always silently by his side waiting for Messi. He always knew that he loved her and she was always patient enough to wait for him.

Antonella never had to worry that her man would run away with another ghost, nor did Antonella ever think that she would give up on the boy Messi wrote a love commitment at the age of 9. As much noise as the world out there has, Antonella’s love for Messi has as much peace.

Then, even when she welcomed her second child, she still accepted that she was the woman behind her, without complaining a word about whether she would become Messi’s wife or not because perhaps at that time everyone implicitly understood that she was M10’s life partner.

Antonella understands Messi’s difficulty when having to stand between his relationship with family and love. Because Messi’s family believes that she does not truly love him but only takes advantage of fame and money. There was a time when Messi’s grandfather spread the news that his grandson and Antonella had broken up and his grandson would have time to… play around. Just a few days later, Messi immediately spoke up to confirm that the relationship between him and the beauty was completely normal.

There is no need for an official identity for fear of being known as a “gold digger”, even all of Messi’s assets are in the name of his parents and relatives, while Antonella is not entitled to anything but She still doesn’t care or complain. Because for her, being with the person she loves and giving birth to beautiful children is wonderful.

Like her mother, Antonella did not work in the business world but retired to be a strong support base for her husband. She focused on raising her children and taking care of her family so that Messi could devote himself to competing for more than 10 years.

There is no shortage of money, but Messi’s girlfriend absolutely refuses to hire a nanny or maid. She wants to take care of her husband and children herself and keep the fire for her beautiful little home.

Antonella was born into a wealthy family when her grandmother was the founder of a famous supermarket chain in Rosario (Argentina). Her father is the beneficiary of this business system.

Antonella’s family background is not inferior, but even though she is a young lady from a rich family and has a boyfriend who is among the top earners on the planet, Antonella spends extremely frugally. Rarely do fans see her “burning money” in shopping malls, wearing luxury designer outfits or riding a supercar on the streets. It is Antonella’s simplicity and affection that is the secret to helping her single-handedly win Messi’s heart.

In the past and until now, although she has received a lot of attention thanks to being Messi’s girlfriend and wife, Antonella still maintains a less noisy and gossipy way of life. Instead of partying like many other famous WAGs, Antonella mostly just shares happy moments with Messi and her two sons Thiago, 4 years old, and Mateo, 21 months old.

Until recently, Antonella started her business career when she joined forces with Luis Suarez’s wife, Sofia Balbi, to open a store in Barcelona. Messi’s new wife also started sharing more on social networks about her products.

In return, although she is not too concerned about wearing branded goods to show her class, Antone is very attentive to maintaining her figure.

Obviously Antonella is a supermodel with a hot body and attractive brown skin from South America. Although she doesn’t like football, Antonella has loved sports since childhood. From the age of 7, her parents let her join the local gymnastics club. Although she enjoyed it very much, when she was 13 years old, Antonella had to stop to focus on her studies.

However, she still regularly practices at home. This is one of the secrets to helping Antonella quickly regain her slim figure after giving birth to baby Thiago. In addition, she also participated in a zumba dance class with her close friend, Lebanon Daniella Semaan – Cesc Fabregas’ wife. After she gave birth to Messi’s child, Antonella’s beauty did not decrease but became even more passionate and loving. No wonder Messi refused to leave her side for so many years.

After 20 years of ups and downs, sometimes near and far, but as fate would have it, Messi and Antonella still came back together to build a happy home. Maybe one day when Messi is out of time, no longer the best player, no longer wins the Golden Ball and has to retire, but surely the M10 guy will never stop being happy because in addition to his passion for football, When it comes to football, his family is his greatest passion.

An eternal love story that seems difficult to exist but still happens as proof that everywhere there will always be love that makes thousands of people dream like that.
