Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo has broken her silence after model Xoana Gonzalez made controversial statements about an alleged night she spent with the Argentine soccer star. Gonzalez, on a television show, said that being with Messi was “like sleeping with a corpse,” which caused a great stir in the media.

Faced with these claims, Antonela did not remain silent and decided to defend her husband. “It is easy to speak out when you have nothing to lose, but the truth always comes out. Leo is an incredible person, both on and off the field, and everyone who knows him knows what he is really like,” said Antonela in a recent interview.

Roccuzzo went on to express her outrage at the accusations and praised her husband’s integrity. “I don’t have to justify Leo to anyone, but it hurts me that such low things are said just to gain notoriety. Our relationship is based on love and mutual respect, and nothing and no one is going to change that.”

Antonela’s response has been widely supported by Messi’s fans, who also came to the footballer’s defence on social media. Despite the controversies, the couple continues to show their strength and unity, proving that their relationship is above any media scandal.
