Lionel Messi is relishing his first-ever World Cup triumph surrounded by his loved ones. The 35-year-old Argentine soccer star, instrumental with two goals in Argentina’s victory over France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, shared a touching moment with two of his sons on the field. Married to Antonella Roccuzzo and father to three boys — Mateo, Thiago, and Ciro — Messi knelt down with elation, warmly embracing his sons in a heartfelt hug, captured in a delightful photograph. Dressed in purple jerseys featuring their father’s nамe and iconic number (10), the boys reciprocated the affection by embracing Messi in return.

Prior to the game, Messi’s son Thiago showed his support by writing down the lyrics to the song “Muchachos Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar.” Antonella, Messi’s wife, shared this touching gesture on her Instagram Story, as reported by The Indian Express and Daily Mail.

Video footage captured the Argentine soccer team singing the song in their locker room following their victory over Mexico in November. Since then, the song has transformed into Argentina’s unofficial anthem for the World Cup, stirring the hearts of fans who passionately chant it during the games. Notably, Lionel Messi has grown particularly fond of it, according to ESPN.

The final match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup presented a formidable challenge for Argentina against France. The intense game ended in a 3-3 tie, leading to a decisive shootout to determine the winner. Ultimately, Argentina emerged victorious with a 4-2 score, securing the coveted World Cup title.

After the win, Roccuzzo shared several adorable pictures of the family celebrating.

“I don’t even know how to start,” she wrote in the gallery caption. “What a great pride we feel for you @leomessi Thank you for teaching us to never give up, that we have to fιɡҺt it until the end IT WAS FINALLY DONE YOU ARE A WORLD CHAMPION, we know what you suffered for so many years, what you wаntеԀ to achieve this!!!”
