Victoria was also aware of the handsome, six-foot-tall footballer. ‘I was doing an interview for a soccer magazine and they showed me photos of different footballers. I had no idea who he was, but I just remembered thinking one word-gorgeous.’

The boss had finished talking and someone mentioned a couple of Spice Girls were in the stands. I jumped up and said, “Which ones?” – but whoever said it couldn’t remember.

Lionel Messi & Antonella Roccuzzo

Many people wonder how come that the best player in the world has chosen a girl from his hometown neighborhood, the daughter of a supermarket owner!

Undoubtedly,

and Antonella Roccuzzo are one of the

famous soccer couples

in the world.

It all began in 1996, when Messi and Lucas Scaglia, the cousin of Antonella and Leo's friend in the Newell's Old Boys youth system, began to spend time together in Rosario.

Leo was just nine years old, but he was already in love with the daughter of the Rosario supermarket chain owners.

Messi once wrote a letter to his dream girl, “One day, we will get engaged.”

It was not until he had turned 21-years-old that the relationship became known. It was on the program 'Hat Trick Barça', of the Catalan channel 'TV3', in January 2009.

They asked him "Do you have a girlfriend?" and Leo Messi replied "Yes, I have a girlfriend. She is in Argentina. The truth is that I am well and I am relaxed."

From that moment, Antonella Roccuzzo, who always had a close relationship with Leo, was linked to the life of Messi.

Antonella, who studied at the Latin American Education Centre, took a different path to Leo when the Barça star left to go to the Catalan capital.

While Messi started on his road to becoming the greatest player in the world, Antonella was in a relationship with another Rosario neighbor, one that lasted three years.

The death of a friend of Antonella's in a traffic accident led to the renewed meeting of Antonella and Leo.

According to reports, Messi learned of the tragedy and quickly traveled to Argentina to be at her side. It was then that their relationship progressed, but they chose to keep it private.

Messi returned to Barcelona, while Antonella began to study Odontology at the National University of Rosario, leaving the course after six months and trying her luck in Social Communication, which she studied for a year. 

The confirmation that the relationship was established happened before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Roccuzzo traveled for the first time to Barcelona and moved in with Leo Messi. On June 2, 2012, in a celebration after a goal against Ecuador in the Monumental stadium, an open secret was confirmed: Antonella was pregnant with Thiago, the couple's first child, born on November 2, 2012.

Later, in the 2014/15 season, Messi confirmed on social media that Antonella was expecting their second child, Mateo, born on September 11, 2015.

It is evident that the lives of Leo Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo were destined to be a great love story since he always knew that he loved her, and she had waited for him.

Later, she admitted that she regrets opening up about their sex life after claiming it was the reason why the player was always injured.
