Lionel Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, celebrated the Argentine forward's 38th birthday in a creative way.
On June 24, Messi turned 38 years old. His wife surprised him with a cake featuring a Smurf character and accompanied the photo with a heartfelt message:
Happy Birthday, old Grouchy! The best dad, the best husband, the best in everything! We are so lucky to have you! We love you!
It's worth mentioning that "Grouchy" is a character from the Smurfs universe known for his constant dissatisfaction.
So far this season, Messi has played 23 matches across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing six assists. His contract with Inter Miami extends until the end of December 2025, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at 18 million euros.
Earlier, on his birthday, Inter Miami couldn’t secure a win against Brazilian side Palmeiras in a match of the Club World Cup 2025 taking place in the USA.
The Club World Cup is currently underway. You can find the tournament's overview here.
