WHILE Lionel Messi gets fans off their seats with his skills, wife Antonela Rocuzzo stays firmly on hers to match the Barcelona legend for style and fitness.
Model Antonela wowed admirers by showing off her exercise-bike workout regime on Instagram – labelling the snap “Time to ride” and even attracting fire emojis of appreciation from Luis Suarez’s wife Sofia Balbi.

Wearing patterned leggings and a pink sport bra, the 32-year-old smiled confidently – quickly racking up over half a million likes.
Antonela signed a modelling deal four years ago, before marrying one-club legend Messi, 33, in 2017.
But the childhood sweethearts, both from Rosario, Argentina, first met when she was just five.
Messi’s dedication to training has never been in doubt, even amid the saga of last summer when he asked to leave.
And Antonela too is committed to staying in shape, often posting exercise snaps where she makes training seem as effortless as her husband finds playing football.
The couple have three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro.
And having trained as a dentist, before studying social communication, she signed with Argentine fashion label Ricky Sarkany in 2017.
Antonela and Messi remain close friends with Sofia and Suarez, despite the Uruguay striker begrudgingly swapping Barcelona for Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window.
The four holidayed together on a superyacht in July, all looking ship-shape.
And certainly, their mix of physical and emotional well-being seems a major factor in the two couple’s relationships.
Antonela, in particular, is happy to share her joy of life on social media.
And perhaps it is that family contentment that Barca hope will persuade her husband to stay beyond the end of his contract next summer.
