The American network "ESPN" revealed details about the call made by Argentine star Lionel Messi from the pitch after he helped his national team win the Copa America title. The Argentine national team was crowned the Copa America champions for the 15th time on Saturday evening, defeating Brazil 1-0 thanks to a goal from Ángel Di María.
In the hours that followed, numerous photos circulated showing the Barcelona star making a video call while sitting on the grass of the field, celebrating Argentina's first major title in 28 years. According to "ESPN," Messi was on a video call with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, to celebrate the victory together. Roccuzzo shared a picture on her Instagram account from the call Messi made from the field, during which he showed off his gold medal.
Roccuzzo was wearing an Argentine national team jersey, and it appeared that their three children—Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro—also participated in the celebratory call. The "celebratory call" took place after the platform finished distributing the trophy and medals to the players.
