@t.n67_: Jorge Messi , the father of Lionel Andrés Messi, died last night at 10 p.m. in a clinic in the city of Rosario, Argentina, according to Infobae. The father and agent of the footballer and captain of the Argentine national team was 68 years old and had been battling a long illness. It was common to see him enter the World Cups with his family group, and that's why it was surprising not to find any images of the Messi family in the United States during the World Cup, apart from the presence of Antonella with her children, Ciro, Mateo and Thiago. The 39-year-old Rosario native couldn't hide his tears after opening the scoring in the first match of the 2026 World Cup. After netting a hat trick, Leo Messi was asked about his reaction and explained: “It's for a reason completely unrelated to sports; I've had some difficult , complicated days. I'm grateful to the entire team, as always, for being by my side.” Later, his former teammate Juan Pablo Sorín asked him about it in another interview in the mixed zone. “You were even in tears for your family, for your family, and for this other family that is the National Team, right?” the former Argentine full-back asked in his role as a reporter. “Yes, yes… The truth is, it’s mostly for my family. Because, well, they’re always there, always supporting me. We’re going through a difficult time right now. So a lot of things came together, but obviously also for them, because they’re a spectacular group that supports me, makes me happy,” Messi explained. Days later, the Messi family released a statement clarifying that Jorge was “under medical supervision, recovering and progressing favorably within the context of his condition . ” #creatorsearchinsights #messi #rip #support
