Argentina captain Lionel Messi's wife Antonela Roccuzzo uploaded a snap of her watching the game La Albiceleste playing Australia in a friendly in Beijing on Thursday. Roccuzzo uploaded the photo on her social media story.
La Albiceleste beat the Socceroos 2-0. Messi scored a spectacular opener, curling home an effort from outside the penalty area. It was his 103rd goal for the reigning FIFA World Cup champions.
Lionel Scaloni's team have now won all three games - all friendies - since winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Wins against Panama and Curacao were followed by a victory against Australia, with their talismanic captain Messi netting in all three games.
Roccuzzo kept a keen eye on the clash against the Socceroos. Here's the photo she uploaded on Instagram while watching the match on TV with one of her three sons:
Lionel Messi and co. will play one game as part of their Asia tour. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winners will square off against Indonesia in Jakarta on Monday (June 19).
