Despite Paris Saint-Germain’s very fine victory against Real Madrid last Tuesday, there was perhaps one player who had less of a head for partying than the others. As both teams headed for a draw, Lionel Messi had the opportunity to give his club the advantage by scoring from the penalty spot. Unfortunately, he missed it and it was his teammate Kylian Mbappé who allowed PSG to come away with the victory. A failure that must have been running through the mind of the 34-year-old Argentinian who is more used to being the savior of his team.
Fortunately for him, Lionel Messi can count on the unwavering support of those close to him, starting with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and his three boys, Thiago (9 years old), Mateo (6 years old) and Ciro (3 years old). Very homebody and reluctant to go out to party, the pulga (as it is nicknamed) largely prefers to spend time with family alongside its own, in its very beautiful house in Neuilly-sur-Seine. Obviously, he needed a little comfort if we stick to the photo published by his wife on Instagram (see the slideshow). Followed by more than 18 million subscribers, she put in story a photo of her husband giving a big hug to her youngest, Ciro.
A tender shot where we can realize that the 3-year-old boy has already grown up and that he looks more and more like his talented dad! Dressed in a tracksuit in the colors of PSG, the little boy embraces his father who is giving him a kiss. “Cuddles from Daddy”, writes Antonela on the photo, adding a heart emoji. A great moment together for the teammate of Neymar and Verratti, who will need to regain his confidence after a complicated start with the capital club.
If he has not yet regained the level that made him the only footballer in the world to have seven Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi can in any case count on the love of his children and in particular of his little Ciro. !
