Lionel Messi‘s wife Antonela showed up at the Copa America opener to watch her husband play with Argentina along with their three kids on Thursday.

‘Anto,’ Thiago, 11, Mateo, 8, and Ciro, 6, were present at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, to watch the 36-year-old Argentina captain provide an assist for the second goal of a 2-0 win against Canada.

They also all flocked No. 10 jerseys of the 2022 World Cup champions in support of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner while watching on from the stands, as shown by Antonela on her Instagram.

Hours before the game, Antonela and the kids were on an outing at the Universal resort and theme park in Orlando, Florida.

She stood out among visitors in an all-red gym outfit as she posed for a snap in front of Harry Potter‘s famous castle.

‘Hogwarts always,’ she shared as a caption to one of her latest posts on Instagram.

Messi, who will turn 37 during the Copa America in the US, could be playing in his final tournament with Argentina this summer, as it’s no secret that he’s reaching the end of his glittering career.

Although he has not set a date for his retirement and is keeping the door open to playing in a sixth World Cup in 2026 to defend his title from Qatar, he is already acknowledging his shortcomings.

‘I don’t think about that yet. The moment I feel that I am not going to help my team, I will retire,’ Messi said in March in an interview with Saudi broadcaster Riyad Season.

Earlier Thursday, Antonela took her two eldest sons, Thiago and Mateo, at Universal Orlando

‘I always ate well, trained. But as I grew I became aware that the physical effort we make is getting harder. As you grow old, things become more difficult.’

Messi’s club team, Inter Miami, is currently on a two-Game winning streak since its captain’s left for international duty.

Argentina next faces Chile in its second match at the Copa America. Messi and Co. have been drawn with their rival, Canada, and Peru in Group A.
