Argentina is one win away from another FIFA World Cup title, and no one appeared to enjoy Wednesday's dramatic semifinal victory more than Lionel Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo. As Argentina rallied from a late deficit to defeat England 2-1 and punch its ticket to the 2026 World Cup final, Roccuzzo was in the stands wearing a customized Argentina No. 10 jersey while cheering on her husband during one of the biggest matches of his legendary career.
The emotional celebration quickly became one of the memorable moments surrounding Argentina's comeback victory, with FOX cameras repeatedly showing Roccuzzo reacting to the action as Messi orchestrated another unforgettable performance.
Lionel Messi leads Argentina into another World Cup final
For much of Wednesday's semifinal, England appeared poised to pull off the upset. Argentina trailed 1-0 late in the match before producing an incredible comeback, scoring twice in roughly six minutes to secure a 2-1 victory and advance to Sunday's championship match.
Messi once again proved why he remains one of the greatest players in soccer history. The Argentine captain assisted on both late goals, helping defend his nation's World Cup crown after leading Argentina to the 2022 title in Qatar.
Now, Argentina will have an opportunity to capture back-to-back World Cup championships when it faces Spain in Sunday's final at New York New Jersey Stadium.
