Meeting Antonela
After quickly becoming close friends, Lucas extended an invitation to Messi to spend his summer with the Scaglia family at their home. During his time there, Messi became captivated by a young girl.
To be precise, the girl was none other than Lucas's cousin, Antonela. In fact, one of Messi's trainers had previously observed the young boy anxiously waiting by the door while his teammates were changing. When the trainer inquired about the reason for his impatience, Lucas's father explained that the weekend was approaching, which meant that Messi would have the opportunity to see Antonela at the Scaglia residence.
