A talisman for Argentina

In 2021, Messi wanted to prove once and for all that his commitment to the Argentina national team remained as strong as it was on the first day. After a 13-year trophy drought, he led the national team to one of its most emotional victories to date, winning the Copa America after a hard-fought final against rivals Brazil.

Antonela and the couple's children celebrated in the stadium as they cheered on Leo.
