Argentina's World Cup journey took another dramatic turn on Wednesday, as Lionel Messi and his team stormed back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat England 2-1 in the semifinals. The victory sends Argentina to the championship match against Spain, while England will face France for third place. But it wasn't just the action on the pitch that caught everyone's attention—Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, made a stylish statement of her own.
Roccuzzo, who has been a constant presence at Argentina's matches, was spotted wearing a customized, cutoff Argentina No. 10 jersey—a clear nod to her husband's iconic number. The look, which she shared on Instagram with the caption, “Thank you God!!! Let's go Argentina!!!! 🤍🕊 In the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” has already racked up over 1.4 million likes. Fans went wild for her outfit, with comments like “VAMOSSSSSS!!🩵🤍🩵🤍🩵🤍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷😍😍” and “FINAL HUGSSSS 🫂 😍😍😍🔥🔥” flooding her post.
The special jersey wasn't just a fashion choice—it was a symbol of the passion that has defined Argentina's run in this tournament. As Messi assisted on both goals in the comeback, Roccuzzo was seen celebrating wildly on FOX, her joy matching the euphoria of millions of Argentine fans. It's a moment that captured the raw emotion of the game and became a viral highlight in its own right.
Argentina's victory was nothing short of thrilling. After falling behind to a first-half goal from England, the team looked down and out until Messi sparked a late surge. Two goals in six minutes turned the game on its head, sending the Argentine bench and fans into a frenzy. For Messi, it's another chance to add to his legacy—Argentina won the World Cup in 2022 and now has a shot at back-to-back titles.
England, meanwhile, will have to regroup for the third-place game against France. The loss has already sparked intense debate among fans, with many questioning the team's strategy. Some have even called for manager Thomas Tuchel's head, as frustration boils over after the crushing defeat. But for Argentina, the focus is entirely on the final.
The championship clash against Spain is set for Sunday afternoon at New York New Jersey Stadium, with kickoff at 3 p.m. ET on FOX. It's a matchup that promises fireworks, as both teams have been among the most impressive in the tournament. For Roccuzzo, you can bet she'll be there in her lucky jersey, cheering on her husband as he chases another World Cup crown.
As the soccer world turns its attention to the final, one thing is clear: Messi's magic on the field is matched only by the unwavering support of his family. And with that custom No. 10 shirt, Antonela Roccuzzo has cemented her place as one of the most stylish fans in the stadium.
