Delighted with Inter Miami’s victory on Saturday night against the New York Red Bulls (0-2), Antonela Roccuzzo rushed onto the lawn to kiss Lionel Messi. But she got the wrong person.
It’s a rather funny sequence that took place in the night from Saturday to Sunday on the side of the Red Bull Arena in Harrison. A few minutes after the final whistle of the match between the New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami, Antonela Roccuzzo rushed onto the lawn with her children with the intention of congratulating Lionel Messi. But instead of heading to the former PSG, the mother of the family went straight to Jordi Alba. And the kiss was avoided by very little.
Visibly deceived by the physical similarity of Alba and Messi, the companion of the seven-time Argentinian Ballon d’Or therefore took the direction of Jordi Alba without realizing his blunder. Seeing the latter arrive with open arms towards him, the defender also opened his own. Getting ready to give her a kiss while Antonela Roccuzzo, visibly still elsewhere, offered her lips, Jordi Alba avoided the mouth of the young woman in extremis who, at the same time, realized that she was mistaken addressee and suddenly backed away.

Little discomfort
Fleeting moment of embarrassment filmed by a spectator who put this online and which amused social networks. Antonela Roccuzzo continued on her way, still looking for her dear and tender. Very good friends off the pitch, Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will have plenty of fun when they talk about this moment.
