Lionel Messi marked the one-year anniversary of Argentina's World Cup victory on December 18, celebrating the milestone at his hometown in Rosario. This significant achievement, under Messi's leadership, brought the World Cup to Argentina after a 36-year wait.
Currently in Rosario to celebrate Christmas with his family, Messi arrived from Florida on a private plane, touching down at Fisherton International Airport at 11:06 am local time. While in town for the holiday festivities, Messi is also attending another significant event – the wedding ceremony of Carla Roccuzzo, the younger sister of his wife Antonella Roccuzzo. The wedding is scheduled for the upcoming Saturday.
After stints with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Messi is now playing for the Inter Miami club in the United States. His impact has been notable, with 14 matches played, 11 goals scored, and 5 assists provided. Messi played a pivotal role in Miami's triumph in the League Cup, securing a major title for the club. Despite this success, the MLS title eluded Messi and his team.
Looking ahead, the Inter Miami club is set to embark on its first international tour in history. Scheduled matches include a game against Al Hilal on January 29 and a clash with Al Nasr on February 1. The latter team notably features Cristiano Ronaldo, setting the stage for a potential Messi-Ronaldo duel if circumstances permit.
Reflecting on Messi's previous visit to Rosario for Christmas last year, the occasion was particularly momentous as it followed Argentina's World Cup victory. The star footballer returned to his hometown to celebrate with family and friends, even meeting up with his longtime Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez during the festivities.
