Lionel Messi marries childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo
Buenos Aires: Argentine football star Lionel Messi has married his childhood sweetheart Antonela Roccuzzo in his hometown Rosario.
A civil ceremony for Messi, 30, and Antonela Roccuzzo, 29, was held at a luxury hotel in the city of Rosario on Friday.
Messi met Roccuzzo when he was just five years old. She is the cousin of his best friend, Lucas Scaglia, who also became a professional football player.
The couple, who now live in Barcelona, have two sons together.
Among the guests at Friday’s wedding were Messi’s Barcelona teammates Luis Suarez, Neymar, Gerard Pique and his wife, Colombia’s pop star Shakira. A number of guests flew into Rosario on private jets.
The groom’s siblings-Maria Sol, Rodrigo and Matias Messi – served as witnesses in the ceremony, along with the bride’s sisters, Paula and Carla Roccuzzo, international online web media reported.
Argentinian singer Abel Pintos performed one of Roccuzzo’s favorite numbers, “Sin principio ni final (Without beginning or end)” during the exchange of rings.
Argentina’s Clarin newspaper has variously called the wedding “the wedding of the year” and “the wedding of the century”.
About 150 journalists received accreditation to enter a special press area, but were not given full access to the venue.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
