The truth about Lionel Messi’s ‘romantic’ gesture with Antonella Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi won his seventh Ballon d’Or last Monday and all the spotlight was on him during his award ceremony at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. Although, in the preview of the ceremony, a nice gesture by the ‘Flea’ with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo caught the attention of Internet users.

When the PSG striker and his family arrived at the award ceremony, one of those in charge of the event would have asked the footballer’s partner to stand aside so they can take photos of the Argentine team captain. She obeyed and moved away, however, according to the images, the athlete wanted his wife to stay by his side.

This is the version that circulates on social networks, however it would only be a confusion generated by the users themselves.

In the ESPN broadcast, commentators indicated that the request was for Lionel Messi and his entire family to get more in the middle so they can be photographed.

That is why Antonella moved away, but the ‘Flea’ asked his wife to go back to her place, because they were already taking pictures of her. In spite of everything, the gesture of the footballer of the Parisian cast went viral and netizens classified it as “romantic”.
