Messi Weds Long-term Girlfriend Antonella
Friday night saw household names of sport, stage and beyond descend upon the Argentine city of Rosario to witness the marriage of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo.
The happy couple posed before photographers on the red carpet in their sparkling attire, the bride dressed in a white Rosa Clara dress.
Also pictured at the event were Jordi Alba, Cesc Fabregas, Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernandez and their plus ones, although Gerard Pique and Shakira dodged the snappers on the night.
Messi’s friends from international football, Argentine teammates Ezequiel Lavezzi, Sergio Aguero, and many more were also in attendance along with former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o.
It is believed that Messi did not ask for typical wedding gifts ahead of the ceremony, with donations to local charity TECHO requested instead.
