Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo was spotted settling into her seat ahead of the final World Cup 2022 clash between Argentina and France in Qatar.
The South American side is set to take on France in a bid to win the coveted World Cup trophy after a gruelling competition.
Having won almost every accolade available in the sport, Lionel – footballing legend and husband to the model and mother-of-three – hasn’t yet had the chance to bring home the gold for Argentina.
Antonela has been ever the supportive partner throughout the course of the competition, cheering on her man with the help of their three children.
The couple reportedly met as kids and despite the star’s training abroad to pursue his sporting career, reconnected later in life to eventually tie the knot in 2017.
They share three sons together, Thiago, 10, Matteo, seven, and Ciro, four, the youngest of which was born one year after they married.

All dressed in national colours, the foursome made the much-loved player proud as they watched on during the country’s semi-final match against Croatia.
The beauty celebrated the three-nil victory on Instagram where she posted adorable snaps of her smiling boys alongside a caption written in Spanish that loosely translated to: ‘I CANT EXPLAIN IT BECAUSE YOU WONT UNDERSTAND!!!!.
‘LET’S GO ARGENTINA!!! LETS GO @leomessi !!!!! [sic]’
The 34-year-old is regularly seen supporting her 35-year-old husband at matches across the globe and has been a permanent fixture in the Qatari stands.

Antonela has not been the only Argentinian cheerleader warming up the friends and family benches in the Middle East.
Fitness model Agustina Gandolfo uploaded videos to her Instagram story as she made her way to the stadium to watch her husband and Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez play in the upcoming final.
She was seen singing and chanting with other family members as they supported their loved ones dressed in blue and white stripes.
Mandinha Martinez jetted to Qatar to watch her husband and the father to her two children, Emiliano Martinez, represent their country on the field.
On the opposite end of the pitch, Zoe Cristofoli and son TJ have waved the French flag for boyfriend Theo Hernandez alongside fellow France WAG and wife to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Marine.
The highly anticipated game is set to happen at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday December 18.
