They are hours without pause for Lionel Messi.

After the consecration in the Maracana for obtaining the Copa América with the Argentine National Team, this afternoon he traveled to Rosario in his private plane.

After 1:00 p.m., he arrived in his hometown where now the Flea celebration

will continue with his family.

It was

a long-awaited reunion for the captain

, after just over a month and a half of not being able to be with his loved ones and staying focused with the rest of the squad under strict health protocols due to the coronavirus.

The private plane arrived after 1 pm at Islas Malvinas de Rosario airport.

He traveled together with Angel Di María and Giovani Lo Celso.

There the captain finally had

an exciting reunion with Antonela Roccuzzo

, his wife.

It was when the captain went to the car that was waiting for him and his wife came out to the crossing, who with a "koala" type jump

hugged him and kissed him passionately

.

Post-match, Roccuzzo had shown his happiness on Instagram after obtaining the title of the Argentine National Team.

"Come on my love !!!! Come on !!! What you dreamed thisooo by Diosss finally gave you! As you deserve it (it included two hearts) I can't wait to see you and celebrate together !!!!!!!


Later, the Argentine "10" took photos with his colleagues and with airport employees.

Along with Antonela, his mother, Celia María Cuccittini, was also waiting for Leo.

Together they got into a black truck that was waiting for them near the plane and left for their home in Gran Rosario.

The captain of the National Team had left with the rest of the delegation around 6 in the morning from Rio de Janeiro and landed at the Ezeiza Airport, around 8:40.

From there, everything was frantic as the bus that transferred the champion squad to the AFA site was surrounded by the euphoria of several fans.

The arrival in the country must have been delayed.

The flight was scheduled for around 2 in the morning, but it had to be delayed due to the repeated celebrations of the entire Argentine delegation: at the stadium and at the hotel. 

The campus was only a short time on the premises of the AFA in Ezeiza.

Minutes before noon, the players went out one by one or in small groups to reconnect with their families.

Around 11.50, it was time for the captain to leave.

He did it in a white car with tinted windows.

Simultaneously, other members of the squad were leaving in a caravan, among them Lautaro Martínez and Nicolás González.

Messi will have a well-deserved rest and in the next few days he will return to Spain to fix his contractual situation with Barcelona.

A contract that ended on June 30 and that for now, beyond the will of the parties to agree, is far from being renewed.

For now, he will share with his family and friends in his hometown, Rosario.
