Antonella seen with baby girl

Messi missed the US Open Cup final due to muscle fatigue but was in the stands with his Antonella to support his teammates, and fans spotted something unusual with her.

She was seen carrying a baby girl, who wore Inter Miami's jersey, which has "Papi", the Spanish word for daddy, written at the back, leading to speculation the Argentina captain secretly had a daughter.

This comes after the World Cup winner said in an interview with OLGA that he wants another child and would prefer a girl, having had three boys.

Hola has clarified the fans' speculation by uncovering the baby's identity. She is Bruna, Jordi Alba's only girl child, and her shirt had the number 18, not 10. The bond between the baby and Antonella is a testament to the two families' closeness.
