Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, were swarmed by fans as they ventured out for a family dinner in Miami. The couple drew significant attention upon arriving at The Amalfi Llama restaurant earlier this week, with fans eager to snap selfies with the football legend.
The 36-year-old Messi graciously paused to take photos with enthusiastic supporters, many of whom sported Argentina jerseys, outside the restaurant.
Joining Messi’s family for the evening were Inter Miami teammate Luis Suarez, his wife Sofia Balbi, and their children. Messi and Suarez also posed for photos with the restaurant’s general manager, Javier Banchero.
