Returning to Argentina

In response to numerous appeals, Messi's brief retirement from international football came to an end as the Argentina captain made plans to rejoin the national team. His timely comeback allowed him to lead Argentina to the 2018 World Cup held in Russia.

Although Messi's return garnered significant attention nationwide, the player himself received momentous news. In the middle of 2018, his now-wife Antonela disclosed that she was expecting their third child. On March 10th, 2018, Ciro Messi was joyfully welcomed into the world.
