On June 24, Lionel Messi celebrated his 38th birthday in a cozy atmosphere with his family. His wife - Antonella Roccuzzo - sent wishes on social media with a bit of humor: "Happy birthday to the difficult old man. He is a great father, the best partner and is always good at everything. My mother and I are so lucky to have you."
Antonella's simple but sincere wish quickly attracted millions of likes and comments. Some fans believe that Messi must be a meticulous person in daily life. Meanwhile, many people only see this as a way to joke between husband and wife.
Messi is a private person and always prioritizes his family. He often spends time with his wife and children instead of appearing at entertainment events. On the occasion of his 38th birthday, Messi was given a cartoon character birthday cake with a ball, showing the attachment between him and the world of football.
Despite turning 38, Messi has maintained a stable performance and always shown professionalism in every match.
Messi and Antonella have known each other since childhood in their hometown of Rosario (Argentina). After many years of association, they got married and had 3 sons. His small family has always been a solid support for Messi both on and off the pitch.
Currently, Messi is competing with Inter Miami at the FIFA Club World Cup. He scored 1 goal in the group stage, helping the team reach the round of 16, where they will face PSG - Messi's former team. This will be a match worth waiting for, because Messi has had many ups and downs at PSG.
