On February 14th, Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo marked their almost twenty years together with a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day. Despite dealing with a muscular injury, Messi took Antonela to a seaside restaurant where they enjoyed gourmet dishes, shared on social media via Roccuzzo's Instagram, which quickly went viral. As part of the celebration, Messi surprised Antonela with a large teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers, underscoring the couple's affectionate bond.

Messi, who currently plays for Inter Miami, showcased his style on the special night in a sleek black suit paired with a pink shirt, while Roccuzzo dazzled in a fitted brown dress, complemented by matching heels and a handbag. Their public displays of love often resonate well with fans and the media, reinforcing Messi's image not just as a football star but also as a devoted family man.

His return to the field is anticipated by fans, as they hope to see him back in action soon, further emphasizing the importance of balance in his life between personal joys and professional commitments, especially as he navigates the challenges of recovery alongside maintaining family traditions.
