Not his wife, Messi unexpectedly posts a video of a 'strange' girl on social media

Messi's New Year's Eve video is going viral quickly, featuring not his wife Antonela but a different girl as the central figure.

Leo Messi surprised fans worldwide by sharing a very casual moment on New Year's Eve. Instead of goals or trophies, the short clip posted on social media by the Argentine superstar caught attention for its family warmth and a completely new female protagonist.

According to Marca, as has been the tradition for many years, Messi chooses to return to Argentina to celebrate the New Year with his family rather than traveling luxuriously. After photos with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their three sons, the Inter Miami forward posted a brief story that quickly spread across social platforms featuring the appearance of a girl.

The central figure in the video is Morena Messi, Leo Messi’s niece. The 18-year-old daughter of Rodrigo, Messi’s eldest brother, appears in a traditional white dress, holding a microphone confidently singing before family and millions of her uncle’s followers.

Morena chose the cumbia genre, a very popular music style in Argentina, with the song “Who made my heart lose its way in love once again?”. Her emotional voice and natural style surprised viewers, as few expected a Messi family member to seriously pursue a music career.

In fact, this is not Morena Messi’s first time attracting attention for her singing talent. Three years ago, when Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Leo Messi shared a moment of his niece performing at her 15th birthday party, receiving many positive reactions.

From those simple videos, Morena gradually built her own image on social media. Without relying solely on her famous uncle’s reputation, she demonstrates a clear musical personality, naturally attracting interest from young audiences in Argentina and football fans worldwide.

Currently, Morena Messi’s Instagram account has surpassed 381,000 followers, a notable figure for someone not involved in football. The New Year's moment shared by Leo Messi unintentionally revealed an interesting story: the Messi family’s talent extends beyond the football field.
