Coupe du monde 2026 : Lionel Messi de retour à Rosario pour soutenir son père malade
In the aftermath of the heartbreaking 2026 World Cup final defeat to Spain (1-0 after extra time), Lionel Messi left the United States to return to his home country. The Argentine captain arrived Tuesday in Rosario, his hometown, where he was spotted with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three children after traveling by private jet.
After several weeks of a particularly intense competition, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has chosen to recharge his batteries with his family. This stay in Argentina, however, is not solely for rest. It is also motivated by the health of his father, Jorge Messi, 68, who is currently going through a difficult period.
Even during the World Cup, some close to the Argentine legend had suggested that this family situation was weighing on the player's morale. His displayed emotion after the match against Algeria had also raised many questions.
Due to these personal circumstances, Lionel Messi is not expected to return to the pitch with Inter Miami in the immediate future. The Argentine striker is ruled out of his club's next two matches, scheduled for July 26 and August 2. His participation in the MLS All-Star Game, scheduled for July 29 in Charlotte, also appears to be in jeopardy.
