Omen? Messi’s Christmas tree in 2022 is the same as in 2014, when Argentina was runner-up in the Cup

For a long time, Argentines have dreamed of winning the World Cup for the third time. This reason, perhaps, was the main reason when the Messi family chose the Christmas tree. This year, before going to Qatar to compete in the World Cup, Lionel Messi (35) and his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo (34), set up the main props of the festive holiday and the whole house with the golden color.

With only the green pine, the golden color refers to the great dream of soccer players and one of the most coveted objects in the field: the World Cup cup. However, some netizens ended up noticing a resemblance that was not favorable for the Argentines.

Just like in 2022, the Messi family chose the same decoration style in 2014, when Leo and his teammates reached the World Cup final in Brazil, facing Germany. However, they lost, taking second place. Was this an omen of things to come this year?

In 2022, Argentina faces the challenge of beating the current world champions, France, Kylian Mbappe (23) and Didier Deschamps (54). As in 2014, this year’s decorations are golden, but with a very specific theme and favorite of the star’s children: Harry Potter.

Now it remains to be seen whether the golden color decorating the Messi family’s Christmas really prevents the Argentines from winning a World Cup, or if everything is nothing more than a simple interesting coincidence. We will now know this Sunday, the 18th, when the brothers enter the field, at 4 pm (Brasília time).

The love story of Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have been married since 2017. They’ve known each other since they were kids. She is the cousin of one of his best friends. The two ended up distancing themselves due to the athlete’s departure to Spain, when he was hired by Barcelona. However, their courtship was resumed during a trip from the Argentine back to his homeland. Then, in 2009, they came out.

The wedding officially took place on July 30, 2017, in the city of Rosario, Argentina, where both were born. The celebration was attended by many important players on the occasion.
