Antonela Roccuzzo shared a heartfelt message to Lionel Messi following Argentina’s victory against Austria in the 2026 World Cup. The message was accompanied by family photos at the Dallas stadium, celebrating Argentina’s advancement to the round of 16.
The initial image featured Roccuzzo in the box seating area with her three children, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, all wearing the team’s blue alternate jersey. In her post, she expressed, «¡Qué privilegio verte hacer historia una y otra vez 🤍🇦🇷 Te amo @leomessi!!!» The carousel of images included another photograph of Roccuzzo with her children and an action shot of Messi on the field, along with two additional pictures and a video showcasing her outfit and makeup.
During the match, Argentina triumphed over Austria with a score of 2-0, securing their spot in the next round. Although Messi missed a penalty kick early in the first half, he later scored both goals that determined the outcome of the match. The first goal was netted at the 38-minute mark when Facundo Medina crossed the ball, allowing Messi to shoot it into the net. This achievement placed him ahead of German striker Miroslav Klose in World Cup goal rankings. 
The second goal came during stoppage time following a counterattack. After a play with Leandro Paredes, Messi seized a rebound to finalize the score at 2-0. With these two goals, he reached a total of 18 World Cup goals just days before his 39th birthday.
Prior to this match, Messi scored three goals against Algeria in their opening game, temporarily placing Argentina at the top of Group J. Roccuzzo was present at this match as well, where a video circulated on social media showing her praying in the stands before the game began. She was also seen waving to Messi on the field during the match. Following the victory, Roccuzzo shared another post saying, «¡Vamos, Argentina! Con vos siempre, Leo Messi. ¡Sos increíble!»
