DOHA, QATAR: Lionel Messi's gorgeous wife Antonela Roccuzzo was spotted cheering from the stands following Argentina's 3-0 victory over Croatia to get to the World Cup final in Qatar last night. The 34-year-old Argentinean model, who has more than 22 million followers on Instagram, flew to Qatar last month to cheer on her high school sweetheart as the World Cup got underway.

Despite a rocky beginning to his trip to Doha, Messi, 35, has excelled throughout the tournament and is currently tied for the tournament's most goals scored with five goals so far. After Messi signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021, the footballer and his WAG have been living in luxury in the French capital with their three sons Thiago, 9, Mateo, 6, and Ciro, 4.
