Ziv Tamir, influencer specializing in luxury watches and known as “Ziv the watch guy”, spoke to Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Lionel Messi, in Miami.

After a padel match, he complimented her on her Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Rope watch, worth around £20,500 ($26,800). But Tamir then asked him a question which visibly disconcerted Messi’s wife.

Messi’s wife targeted by influencer

Unaware of his identity, Tamir asked him, as usual in these kinds of videos: ” What do you do for a living ?” Antonela, surprised at first, smiled and turned to her friend who was speaking to her in Spanish. She didn’t answer the question directly, contenting herself with a smile and a thumbs-up to the camera before politely ending this brief and somewhat awkward exchange. The video went viral, with Ziv unaware of the Argentinian legend’s wife’s international fame.

The Messi revolution in MLS

The Argentine icon has been a true revelation at Inter Miami, transforming the once-struggling club in MLS into a successful team. He delivered two major trophies to the franchise: the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 Supporters’ Shield. On the pitch, Messi’s talent is as impressive as ever, making him the top scorer and assist in the club’s history in record time. His outstanding 2024 season saw him win the MLS Golden Boot with 29 goals and 19 assists in 28 games, setting a league record with five assists in a single game. Beyond the statistics, his thirst for victory enhanced the performances of the entire team and considerably increased the notoriety, attendance and revenue of the league on a global scale. Despite this success, Messi recently expressed his desire to return to the Catalan capital.
