Lionel Messi is undefeated in two MLS games for Inter Miami, and his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, is ecstatic.
Antonella Roccuzzo was on hand to witness Inter Miami’s 4-0 triumph over Atlanta United, which was inspired by Lionel Messi.
She was back in the stands to watch her husband play for his new team – Messi was making his first start since joining Miami and picking up where he left off in his previous game.
He scored twice in the first 22 minutes and assisted on another as his team cruised to a 4-0 victory in the Leagues Cup.
Before Messi turned down the Saudi league to go to Miami, there were rᴜmours that Antonela was pressuring her husband to relocate to the United States and play in Major League Soccer.
Messi eventually chose to play in the MLS, and the couple appears to be having a good time in Miami.
Messi has three goals and an assist in two games.
During Inter Miami’s rout of Atlanta United, Apple TV’s cameraman continued capturing a happy Roccuzzo in the stands, and she quickly went viral.
Antonella and her celebrity husband were recently house searching in Miami as they continue to settle in after moving to the United States.
Messi had a great start to life with his new squad on Friday night, scoring a magnificent free ƙicƙ in the final minute to lead his team to a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul.
His first start came on Tuesday, and he lasted for 78 minutes before exiting the field with his team-leading 4-0. With the victory on Tuesday, Miami advances to the Leagues Cup knockout stages.
Antonella posted to Instagram after Messi was announced as a Miami player at a ceremony at the team’s DRV PNK Stadium earlier in July.
