The soccer world is in mourning as Jorge Messi, father of Lionel Messi and a quiet architect of his son’s legendary career, passed away at 68 after a long illness. A private funeral in Rosario brought together Lionel, Antonela, their children, and Argentine teammates for a heartfelt farewell. Lionel has stepped away from Inter Miami to grieve, while the club honored him with a moment of silence and black armbands before their match against Monterrey. Tributes poured in from across the sport — including Rodrigo De Paul’s emotional on-field homage — and even Miami’s former mayor praised Jorge’s integrity. His legacy, woven into the fabric of football and family, resonates far beyond the pitch.
