The defeat of the Argentine National Team against Spain in the final of the 2026 World Cup left scenes of deep emotion inside and outside the MetLife Stadium in New York. One of the most talked-about moments featured Antonela Roccuzzo, filmed as she left the stadium after the match ended.
The images were shared by Telefe on their social media and quickly began to circulate among fans. In the video, the Rosario native can be seen exiting the stadium, surrounded by a significant security detail.
In the footage, Antonela is seen holding hands with Mateo Messi, one of the children she has with the captain of the National Team, as they move through the crowd.
The businesswoman kept a low profile throughout the journey and avoided making statements in front of the cameras, while security personnel cleared a path through the fans who remained at the scene after the final.
During the 2026 World Cup, Antonela accompanied Lionel Messi in each of the Scaloneta's matches and was a constant presence in the stands alongside her children.
On several occasions, her gestures of encouragement and reactions during the matches went viral on social media.
The episode marked the end of a World Cup that represented the last match of Lionel Messi in the Argentine jersey.
Despite the loss to Spain, the celebrities who followed the match expressed their emotions and congratulated Lionel Scaloni's team on social media.
L-Gante was one of the first to express his gratitude. “Thank you, National Team. What a great World Cup we experienced”, he wrote alongside an image of the AFA with the three stars.
María Becerra, who sang the anthem before the match, shared a photo of her performance on the field and wrote: “Days like this only come a few times in life. Today, the words are only of gratitude”.
The singer added: “Thank you @afaseleccion for bringing so much joy to the Argentine people, for uniting us beyond everything, thank you for this team that taught us that we can always do a little more”, and concluded: “Honored to have sung today for all of you the anthem of my homeland.
