Lionel Messi’s wife accuses the media of trying to get her pregnant amid ‘fake’ rumours of a 4th child
Antonela Roccuzzo has reportedly shut down rumours she could be expecting a fourth child with Lionel Messi.
While acknowledging Messi's continued brilliance, particularly his standout performance in the Copa America, Aguinaga believes the team's overall strength and solidity allow them to succeed with or without their main man.
"Messi is still Messi," Aguinaga said, according to Sportskeeda. "After what he showed in the Copa America, he stands out for the quality he has. I like Argentina’s team as a whole, they are very solid, very strong. Sometimes you don’t feel whether Lionel is there or not.”
)
Argentina have enjoyed a period of sustained success on the international stage, winning four titles, including the coveted FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
While Messi has undoubtedly been instrumental in these wins, Aguinaga's comments highlight the team's evolution into a well-rounded and resilient force.
)
Messi, 37, has an impressive record of 112 goals and 61 assists in 191 appearances for his country. But as Argentina prepare to defend their FIFA World Cup title, it remains to be seen whether Messi, who will be 39 years old at the time, will be part of the squad.
Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, has focused on building a cohesive unit that thrives with Messi's presence but does not solely depend on him for success.
)
This transformation was evident in their Copa America match against Peru, where they secured a 2-0 victory despite Messi being sidelined due to injury.
Meanwhile, without him, Argentina suffered a 2-1 defeat to Colombia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying. This result showed the challenges the team faces when Messi is absent. Despite the defeat, Argentina remain on track for a spot in the 2026 World Cup2.
)
With a blend of experienced stars and emerging talents, Argentina's newfound resilience and collective spirit suggest a promising future for La Albiceleste.
