New Delhi: No one is allowed to distract Lionel Messi. Not even his fans. And his wife keeps a strict vigil on Argentina football star and his social media accounts.
In a recent incident, a Barcelona football club fan has claimed that she has been blocked from sending pictures to Messi by his missus Antonella Roccuzzo, The Sun reported.
The fan in question, Suzy Cortez, winner of Brazil’s Miss BumBum 2015 contest, has been bombarding Messi with her sexy pictures on Instagram. It didn’t go down well with Antonella as she forced the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to block Suzy.
In one picture, the Brazilian model is seen wearing a Barcelona shirt, wrapped into the shape of a thong, to congratulate Messi on his fifth Ballon d’Or win. While in another image, Suzy is shown from behind in a Barcelona jersey and shorts that have been painted on her body.
Uncomfortable with the rauncy images sent her husband, the 28-year-old Antonella blocked Suzy from their social media accounts.
After noticing that she has been blocked by Messi and his wife, Suzy blasted Antonella as being “jealous” and “overreacting” to her pictures, saying she is simply just a “huge fan of Barcelona”.
The model, who is known for dating footballers, said: “I was completely shocked when I spotted it. If I could, I would tell her not to be worried about me, I’m just a fan. I’m surprised that she isn’t more sure of herself.
“I guess it can only be because she is jealous. It’s very silly because I’m just a football fan and a huge fan of Barcelona. This is such an overreaction.
“I only follow about 10 people and he was one of them. So when I saw that I was blocked I thought it could only be jealousy. Why would he block me if he has 40million followers? Then I checked her profile and confirmed she had also blocked me.”
