Antonela Roccuzzo wrote an emotional message to Messi after the footballer announced his retirement from the Argentine national team. In her text, she recalled that Messi went through hard times, but also good ones throughout his career. She added that she had the satisfaction of seeing him achieve his dreams.
“What a pride it is to see you close this chapter this way, Lionel Messi. There were so many years, so many moments, so many joys, and also so many blows.
I saw you suffer, fall, and get back up. I saw you keep going when things didn't work out and always try again. And after so many years, I was also lucky enough to see you fulfill your dreams and live some of the happiest days of our lives,” she expressed.
Roccuzzo also highlighted that she was touched that their children grew up watching their father's career, as well as his effort to achieve his goals.

That they have seen their dad fight for what he wanted, not give up, and keep believing until the end. And that later they were able to be there to see you achieve it all and lift the World Cup. Maybe someday they will truly understand how huge your story is. Today they are simply proud of their dad,” she wrote.
