WATCH: Antonella Roccuzzo hugs Jordi Alba, mistakes him for her husband Lionel Messi
It is true that football lovers would give up anything to be like the great Lionel Messi, even if it was just for a moment, and it appears that his teammate Jordi Alba appears to have had the same experience but in an amusing way. Notably, the star footballer’s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, rushed to give her husband a hug following Inter Miami’s League Cup win, but later she learned that it wasn’t her husband, it was his teammate Jordi Alba. In addition, this incident has caught attention on social media, especially on Twitter.
Notably, the video given below, it clearly shows that Messi and his teammate Alba were both looking very similar in the uniform of Inter Miami, which caused this confusion. In addition, the video shows that Messi’s wife and Alba were very close during the Inter Miami celebrations after their victory on August 26.

Meanwhile, Antonella and Alba have been friends for a very long time. Notably, some fans say that it’s also possible that Antonella went to express her gratitude to the Spanish defence with a hug, but Alba stopped her due to how sweaty he was after the match. Moreover, it shows that both of them laughed it off and went. Furthermore, following that incident, Alba eventually walked ahead and hugged Mateo and Thiago, who are Messi’s children, after an amusing incident with Messi’s wife.
Users did not miss the opportunity to joke about the situation. “Jordi Alba shot”, “No poor Messi, penalty for Argentina”, “Alba was ready”, “Almost, almost” there were some comments. Notably, there were a plethora of comments about the confusion between Mess’s wife and his teammate after the victory that did not go unnoticed on social media.
Meanwhile, after their victory in their semi-final match against Cincinnati just a few days ago, Inter Miami will play in their second final under the captaincy of Lionel Messi.
