Messi's wife enjoys The Best award, Cristiano's girlfriend did this on Instagram

This Monday Lionel Messi received for the third time The Best award that FIFA gives to the most outstanding player of the last year. He had already won it twice, in 2019 and 2022, and became the first player to win it three times, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski. Leo scored the same amount of points as Erling Haaland, but he kept the trophy because more players voted for him than for the Manchester City striker.

Messi was not present at the ceremony that took place in London because he preferred to stay in Fort Lauderdale training with his Inter Miami teammates, considering that they are in the middle of pre-season and that every day is key to achieve the best possible fitness. He also did not make any post on social media thanking for the award, but his wife did. Antonela Roccuzzo shared a story congratulating her husband, with some emojis of smiling faces and applause.

Cristiano Ronaldo also did nothing related to The Best, but for very different reasons. Despite being the top scorer in the world during 2023, FIFA left him out of the finalists and that is why he avoided talking about it. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez shared a picture on Instagram where she is seen posing for the camera and wearing a beautiful red dress.

Immediately, her more than 56 million followers reacted to the post with almost 3 million likes and 8700 comments. Most of them are from users who highlight the beauty of the Argentinean model and businesswoman. One wrote: "How beautiful". Another added: "Perfect". A third said: "Goddess". And another commented: "Absolutely sensational".
