Messi quietly returned to his hometown with his family, apparently to prepare for the wedding of a special person

Superstar Lionel Messi will spend the last days of 2023 in his hometown Argentina.

According to Argentine media, Lionel Messi and his whole family left the US to return to their home country of Argentina on the night of December 17. The Argentine superstar’s family will spend the last days of the year in the South American country. In early January 2024, Messi returned to join forces with Inter Miami.

Ole newspaper revealed that there was one important thing that caused Messi to return home this time. That is to attend the wedding of Antonela’s wife’s family. Carla, Antonela’s youngest sister, will have her wedding on December 23. It is confirmed that Messi and his wife will both attend. It is known that Antonela will be the one to lead the bride down the aisle. At Messi’s wedding in 2017, Carla also took on this important role.

In the past, due to his busy schedule, Messi rarely went to weddings. However, Carla’s wedding took place right at the time the Argentine superstar was on leave from the competition. Therefore, the 37-year-old superstar had the opportunity to participate.

Messi’s Inter Miami club is expected to officially return to competition at the end of February 2024. However, before that, this team will participate in a series of notable friendly matches. First, on January 19, coach Tata Martino and his team competed against the El Salvador team. By the end of the month, the team faced Al Hilal and then Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
