Lionel Messi’s wife was called a ‘queen’ for ignoring iShowSpeed at the Ballon d’Or ceremony after her husband won the top award – but there was one problem
Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo was hailed for her reaction to a selfie request from iShowSpeed – but it seems as though he was asking the wrong person.
iShowSpeed then dipped his head in disappointment
Antonela Roccuzzo ignored Speed
Antonela Roccuzzo was in attendance with Lionel Messi and their three sons
The viral superstar live-streamed the entire ceremony as he was seen joking with Emiliano Martinez, having an awkward moment with Josko Gvardiol and dancing along to the musical guest.
After the show ended, Speed could be seen pointing to his phone and asking for a photo in the general direction of who he believes to be Antonella, as three women had a conversation.
He tried and failed to get a response and said: “She’s ignoring me bro… she’s ignoring me. I just want to get a picture.”
He then bowed his head to focus on meeting other famous faces closer to the stage, including Vini Jr and Jude Bellingham.
One reply simply said: “Queen.”
A second added: “Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, ignored Speed when he asked for a picture.”
A third said: “What he expect when he constantly says nonsense about Messi.”
A fourth agreed: “She’s definitely seen him slander Messi.” But it didn’t appear to be the right person at all.
Speed then shared a chat with Vini Jr who was pleased to see him, saying Brazil for life despite his love for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
After collecting the Kopa Trophy, which recognizes the world’s finest player under the age of 21, Bellingham thanked the American for his support and departed the arena.
Earlier in the evening, after being requested for a picture, Croatian international Gvardiol glanced in Speed’s direction and appeared perplexed.
In reality, Gvardiol’s friend requested the photo; the 21-year-old played the part of the videographer, and Speed laughed when he realized how ridiculous the request had been.
One reply said: “Gvardiol asking speed for pics I’m crying.” A second added: “No way Gvardiol asked to take a pic with speed.”
