The crowd erupted into cheer as Lionel Messi lifts the trophy for FIFA World Cup Sunday night. The Argentina Football team came out victorious in a nail-biting final against France and ended up clinching the title in penalties.
Among the ample amount of supporters, who had patiently waited for Messi to win the biggest accolade in football, was his wife, model Antonela Roccuzzo. Roccuzoo, who had been married to Messi for five years, was present at every match, lauding her husband along the sidelines.
As Argentina celebrated the big win, pictures of the couple went viral on social media as fans spot Messi adoring his wife. Have a look!

Argentina won their third World Cup in extraordinary style on Sunday, beating France 4-2 in a penalty shootout after Lionel Messi scored twice in a 3-3 draw that featured a hat-trick for Kylian Mbappe as the holders recovered from 2-0 down after 80 minutes.
It was an incredible night of drama and fluctuating fortunes, delivering one of the all-time great finals to cap a wonderful tournament.
Argentina had looked to be cruising to a one-sided victory after Messi's penalty and a brilliant goal by Angel Di Maria in the first half put them in total control but Mbappe converted an 80th-minute penalty and volleyed in an equaliser a minute later to take the game to extra time.
Messi put Argentina ahead again but Mbappe levelled with another penalty, becoming the second man to score a World Cup final hat-trick after Geoff Hurst for England 1966.
