Funny moment when Antonela Roccuzzo entered the field to celebrate and almost kissed... Jordi Alba because he mistook him for Messi.
A short video shared on Twitter of Messi's wife has received up to 10 million views. Antonela happily approaches an Inter Miami player and is ready to open her arms to hug, after Messi's team defeated Nashville in the 2023 Leagues Cup final on August 19.
But when the player turned around, Antonela discovered that it was Jordi Alba. The Argentine beauty looked embarrassed and awkward, while Alba immediately understood the problem. Messi's close teammate happily shared the joy with Messi's wife with a hug among friends.
According to Daily Mail, Antonela mistook Alba for Messi because of their similar physiques. Perhaps because she was so happy about Inter Miami's championship, Messi's wife mistook her husband.
Jordi Alba played alongside Messi for many years at Barcelona and has a close relationship with the Argentine star's family. After Messi joined Inter Miami, the Spanish defender also followed in his footsteps to the American team. Currently, Inter Miami has a trio of former Barcelona players including Messi, Alba and Sergio Busquets.
Messi is having a great time at Inter Miami. The 36-year-old has been in brilliant form with 11 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches. Messi won his first championship with Inter Miami at the 2023 Leagues Cup and went on to qualify for the 2023 US Open Cup final.
