A sweet message between Messi and his wife after the victory against Austria. |
Following Argentina's 2-0 victory over Austria in their second Group J match of the 2026 World Cup on the morning of June 23rd, Messi made history by surpassing Miroslav Klose to become the highest-scoring player in World Cup history.
Immediately after this memorable milestone, Antonela sent her husband a proud message on social media: "It's such a privilege to make history again and again. I love you."
Shortly after, Messi responded with a short but delightful comment: "Te amo" (I love you). Amidst the intense World Cup, the Argentine superstar didn't forget to send his love to the woman who has been by his side for almost three decades.
Messi expresses his family affection in an even more special way on the pitch. At the 2026 World Cup, the Argentina captain wore the adidas F50 Messi "El Último Tango" (The Last Tango) boots, a model seen as a tribute to what may be the last World Cup of his career.

The most striking detail lies in the inscriptions printed on the shoes. Besides his wife Antonela's name, Messi also engraved the names and birth dates of his three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. These small but meaningful details show that his family is always present alongside him in every match and every moment of his career.
Perhaps that companionship became a great source of motivation for Messi. After just two matches at the 2026 World Cup, he scored 5 goals. Before that, the number 10 scored a hat-trick against Algeria, becoming the oldest player in history to score a hat-trick at the biggest football tournament on the planet. In the match against Austria, he continued to shine with a brace to further break the World Cup scoring record.
Antonela and her three children are also in the US to cheer on Messi in person. Unlike many previous major tournaments, this time the family can accompany him throughout his World Cup journey.
From childhood friends in the city of Rosario to one of the most famous families in world football, Messi and Antonela have spent nearly 30 years together. And amidst records, titles, and the glamour of the pitch, family has always been the greatest support in the life of the Argentina captain.
