Building a Life Together
After a promising beginning at Barcelona, Messi was presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a call-up to represent the Argentinian national team. This timely invitation allowed Messi to secure his place in the national squad for the 2006 World Cup.
Although he made a valuable contribution with a goal and an assist as Argentina advanced to the quarterfinals, Messi soon experienced an even more significant milestone. His beloved partner, Antonela, decided to move in with him at his residence in Castelldefels, Barcelona. However, the couple opted to keep their relationship private for the time being.
