Wearing the Inter Miami jersey, Lionel Messi made a striking statement about his private life. The Argentine star shared a detail about his home life that he had not previously disclosed while speaking to the LUZU TV YouTube channel.
"MY WIFE DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO PLAY SOCCER WITH MY SONS AT HOME"
Messi stated that his wife Antonela has set a rule at home for him and the children, saying, "Antonela doesn't allow me to play soccer with my sons at home. It's the paradoxes of life, isn't it? I make a living from football, but I can't play soccer at home," he said.
THE REASON IS VERY CLEAR: EXPENSIVE ITEMS AND FURNITURE
According to Messi, the reason for this rule is the presence of many expensive items and furniture that could be damaged at home. The Argentine star expressed that one of the reasons he continues to enjoy football and remain competitive is the family order and these small rules within the home.
