Woman Emotionally Celebrating With Messi Is Not His Mom, But A Chef?

It must have been a wonderful day for Argentina and the national team. Argentina has won the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and celebrating is one of the ways to cherish the moment!

The national team was seen celebrating their win among themselves and their families. Not to forget their fans were also happy with the victory. The 18-carat trophy is now Argentina’s after years of waiting.

While celebrating, a camera captured a moment where Messi hugged a woman tenderly. The woman wore the national team’s jersey and was seen running toward the football player.

Messi’s face lit up as he saw the woman. The woman came for a hug, and Messi returned her hug affectionately, as she cried happy tears.

People thought the woman is his mother, but no! She is Argentina’s team chef, and she is much loved by the team! Her name is Antonia Farías. She has been working as a chef for the national team for over a decade and often travels with the squad team.

Besides that, the media also captured Messi celebrating the victory with his wife and their children.

It is nice to see that aside from family members, staffs were also celebrating the occasion together with the national players.
