The Argentine star continues to make history.

This Sunday,

Leo Messi

(35) achieved

the only title that was missing

anyone

's little dream

"I knew that at some point

God was going to give it to me

How could it be otherwise, the footballer celebrated the victory by melting into

an emotional hug

with

Antonela Rocuzzo

(34), his wife, and their

three children together:

Thiago (10), Mateo (7) and Ciro (4).

And it is that without a doubt, the young woman, originally from Rosario, is

the talisman

that accompanies the footballer in his successful career.

Since they met when

they were barely nine and eight years old,

the model, known for being the daughter of the owners of the Único supermarket chain, and the 10th of the Argentine team, have become

inseparable

.

The marriage became known through her cousin,

Lucas Scaglia, a friend of the footballer

since childhood, who was then playing in the lower categories of Newell's.

From there, the two began to

exchange love letters

until they reached their

teens

, when they had to separate.

Although only physically.

In the year 2000,

Leo Messi moved to Spain

to try his luck with FC Barcelona, ​​but the two kept in touch despite the fact that she had

a relationship with another boy

for three years.

The tragedy that united them forever

Four years later,

the death of Rocuzzo's best friend

in a traffic accident, caused Messi and Antonela to

meet again

and never separate again.

She had just finished her Bachelor's Degree in Humanities and Social Sciences, and

was beginning to study Dentistry

at the National University of Rosario, which she dropped out to later enroll in Social Communication.

In 2009 it was the footballer who made his relationship

with Anto official, as he affectionately calls her, on the TV3 program

Hat Trick Barça

.

She was asked "do you have a girlfriend?", and Messi replied: "Yes, I have a girlfriend. She is in Argentina."

A year later, and just a few weeks before the World Cup in South Africa,

Antonela headed for Spain

after deciding that

she did not want to continue studying,

and settled in the house that the soccer player had in Castelldefels.

Just two years later, the couple

welcomed their first child,

Thiago, and in 2015, their second, Mateo.

On June 30, 2017, Argentines said "yes, I want"

at the City Center Rosario luxury hotel

, in their hometown.

The ceremony was attended

by well-known faces from the football scene,

such as Luis Suárez (35) and Sofía Balbi (33), Cesc Fábregas (35) and Daniella Semaan (47), Gerard Piqué (35), who went with Shakira, Ángel Di Maria ( 34), Neymar (30) or Kun Agüero (34).

In 2018, the couple introduced

their third child,

Ciro, into society.

Since the Argentine star signed for Paris Saint Germain, the couple and their three children have lived in the town of Neuilly-sur-Seine,

in the Paris metropolitan area

.

There also live colleagues of the former Barça footballer, such as Di Maria or Leo Paredes (28).
