Antonela Roccuzzo's 'Argentine style' celebration goes viral after World Cup final qualification

Argentina is heading to its second consecutive World Cup final, securing a decisive victory over England with a display of authority, heart, and skill. The team will face Spain on Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, aiming to win their second world title in a row.

Celebrations erupted across Argentina, with fans taking to the streets and social media. The players shared a special moment with their supporters and families who attended the semifinal match at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Among the most talked-about celebrations was that of Antonela Roccuzzo, often dubbed the "first lady of football."

Roccuzzo shared a TikTok video of herself dancing and singing along to "La Cumbia de los Trapos" by Yerba Brava, wearing a light blue and white jersey. The video quickly went viral, garnering nearly five million views and showcasing her joy over Argentina's advancement to the final. The song's lyrics express fervent support for the team: "The weekend is coming, we're all going to the stadium, the drum and the flag are ready to go. The team with the most spirit, I carry it in my heart."

Throughout the tournament, Roccuzzo has provided unwavering support to her husband, Lionel Messi, who is set to play in his third World Cup final at age 39. She has been based in Fort Lauderdale with their three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, traveling to each match via private jet. They consistently occupy VIP box seats with other family members and friends, maintaining their pre-game rituals. Their presence in Atlanta for the semifinal, dressed in matching outfits, proved to be a continued good omen for the team.
