**Lionel Messi and Wife Antonela Relax on Miami Boat Trip with Luis Suarez and Family**
After a thrilling Copa America victory and a concerning ankle injury, Lionel Messi took some well-deserved time off to unwind with his stunning wife Antonela Roccuzzo on a Miami boat trip. The couple was joined by Luis Suarez, Messi’s Inter Miami teammate, and his family, including Suarez’s wife Sofia and her sister-in-law Mariana.
Messi, who suffered a nasty ankle injury in the Copa America final, was spotted donning a protective boot on the boat as he continues to recover from the setback. Despite the injury, the Argentina captain seemed to be enjoying himself, soaking up the sun and sea with his loved ones.
Antonela shared a series of photos from the boat trip on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into the relaxing afternoon. The photos showed the group laughing and chatting on the boat, with Messi’s protective boot a visible reminder of his ongoing recovery.
Suarez, who returned to Miami last week after Uruguay’s semifinal defeat in the Copa America, was all smiles as he spent time with his family and friends. The Uruguayan striker is set to line up for Miami in their Leagues Cup opener against Puebla on Saturday.
Messi, meanwhile, is expected to be sidelined for an indefinite period as he recovers from his ankle injury. The 37-year-old superstar took to Instagram to thank fans for their support, saying he was “fine” and looking forward to getting back on the field soon.
The boat trip was a well-deserved break for Messi, who has had a whirlwind few weeks. After leading Argentina to Copa America glory, he was forced to miss the team’s triumphant return to Buenos Aires due to his injury. However, he was hailed as a hero by fans, who celebrated his 45th major title triumph.
Prior to their win over Chicago Fire on Saturday, Messi limped onto the field in his protective boot as Inter Miami celebrated his latest title win. The crowd at Chase Stadium gave him a huge ovation, acknowledging his incredible achievement.
While Messi will not be involved in Miami’s upcoming Leagues Cup opener, Suarez is set to take the field against Puebla. The Uruguayan striker will be looking to build on his impressive form, which has seen him become a key player for Miami.
