Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela are all smiles in matching white outfits as they are spotted leaving the Inter Miami stadium in Fort Lauderdale with their kids… ahead of tonight’s huge cup quarter-final
Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were all smiles on Thursday as the pair left the DRV PNK stadium with their three children.
And Messi, 36, and Roccuzzo, 35, matched in white, as the Inter Miami star man wore a white T-shirt and gray shorts.
Roccuzzo opted for a white blouse and white jeans as she adored her children Thiago, 10, Mateo, 7, and Ciro, 5.
Thiago was seen wearing a gray Inter Miami shirt during the outing.
On the same evening, the family was seen chatting with friends outside the Inter Miami facility.

The family seemed to be settling in well off the pitch in Miami, with Messi and Roccuzzo previously seen house hunting in Boca Raton.
The couple seemed in good spirits as they toured a luxury home in Boca Raton, an hour north of Miami but only 25 minutes from DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Messi was shown around the house, where there appeared to be a putting green. One could even be seen giving Messi a short demonstration – club in hand.
It wouldn’t be the family’s first property in South Florida. They already own a $9 million luxury condo overlooking Sunny Isle Beach and the city of Miami.
According to reports, the World Cup winner bought the apartment in the Porsche Design Tower back in 2019.
Messi is also doing well on the field.
The Argentina World Cup winner has yet to lose in four games to his new club as Miami progress to the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup.

The number 10 already has seven goals for the club, including a superb pair of free kicks at the DRV PNK Stadium.
Amazingly, that already makes him the fourth highest scorer in club history, along with Josef Martinez, Lewis Morgan and Rodolfo Pizarro.
The club only started playing in 2020, but Messi is sure to set records in South Beach if he continues at his current pace.
Messi scored twice in Miami’s 4-4 draw vs. FC Dallas, with his second – a curled free kick in the 85th minute – sending the game to penalties.
Miami would then hold their nerve in the shootout and win 5-3.
Messi’s move to the United States was confirmed last month with a glitzy reveal ahead of his debut, which saw the 36-year-old score a last-minute winner.
Messi is expected to earn $50-60 million per season after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami.
The Argentina international has already been followed to South Beach by former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

According to Inter Miami club co-owner Jorge Mas, the arrival of Messi has more than doubled the number of subscribers to the MLS Season Pass – many of whom tune in to watch the matches in Spanish.
‘The Messi effect is real!’ Mas claimed. “#MLSSeasonPass subscribers on @AppleTV have more than doubled since Messi joined @InterMiamiCF.”
“Also, Hispanic viewership on #MLSSeasonPass on @AppleTV is up over 50% for Messi matches and continues to rise. How exciting for a truly global fan base!’
Apple has not released any statistics to back up Mas’s claims.
