Lionel Messi once again showcased his genius. After Egypt unexpectedly took a two-goal lead, Messi spearheaded Argentina's comeback, first assisting Cristian Romero's goal and then leveling the score himself at 2-2. Enzo Fernández ultimately sealed the South American team's victory, securing their spot in the quarterfinals.

Antonela Roccuzzo watched the match in Atlanta with her children, fully immersed in every moment of the dramatic encounter. Fans noticed that the wife of the Argentine star once again adhered to one of her traditions regarding her outfit choices.

Throughout this year's tournament, she wears the home jersey for odd-numbered matches and the away jersey for even-numbered ones. As the Round of 16 clash was Argentina's fifth game of the tournament, she donned the iconic blue and white kit. It seems this superstition once again brought her luck.

After the final whistle, she proudly watched her husband, who struggled to hide his emotions after the demanding game. Just moments before, it seemed his World Cup journey might end prematurely.

Several hours after the match, the 38-year-old influencer addressed her followers via an Instagram post. "Let's go, Argentina. I'm speechless," she wrote alongside a series of photos from the stadium.

Infidelity Rumors

Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have three sons together, who often accompany their mother to the Argentine forward's matches. However, over the past week, the long-standing couple once again had to contend with renewed rumors.

For several years, whispers have circulated about the 39-year-old footballer's alleged affair with Telefe TV presenter Sofi Martínez. However, Messi has repeatedly dismissed these speculations as absolute nonsense in the past.
