Argentine reports exclusively talked about the condition of Messi’s father, and some even went on to speak publicly about the possibility of his death, which was met with an official statement from Lionel Messi’s family.
Messi’s family said on Thursday that his father, Jorge, is ill and is currently undergoing close medical monitoring, stressing that his condition is gradually improving and developing positively.
This announcement came two days after the match in which Messi’s hat-trick led the Argentine national team to a 3-0 victory over Algeria in the 2026 World Cup, where the Albiceleste captain’s emotion after scoring the first goal sparked a wide wave of questions, after he appeared wiping his tears with his shirt in a remarkable scene.
