Girl Crush: Lionel Messi’s New Girlfriend
The first official photos of Lionel Messi’s girlfriend have gone public via Hola! magazine.
We are seriously impressed.
Not just with Lionel’s ability to rock a 1986 female gym teacher hairdo with ease down the high street, but with his stellar choice in chicas.
New girlfriend was born and bred in Argentina, is 22 years old and studies nutrition in college.
That’s all we’ve got.
But we do know this: she’s hella cute. The trainers are what did it for us. That, and the fact that her hair is ridonkulous.
Let’s all hope she can maintain this down-to-earth level of Waggery now that they’ve gone public.

i hate her! i really hate her! messi is mine!
nice bikini
your hot
After seeing photos of them together in Ibiza they really do make a gorgeous couple.
Could they rival and shakiera and Pique? Maybe!!!!
I love Messi as well. He is everything a girl could wish for, intelligent, cute, handsome and humble.
She is a lucky girl for sure since she managed to bag the best looking and best player on the Barecelona FC team.
she is pretty n they look awesome 2gether. messi is da best, he can get any grl if he likes. coz he is a nice person.
they make a lovely couple
Are u guys forgetting how great messy's hair looks? For a dude he is good looking.
she is nyc………………bt i want 2 b at her place…………..she is d lucky 1 ,as she hav handsome hunk lyk messi
I love her casual look! Is it safe to say that they look like a 'real' normal couple?
They're cute together! Gorgeous hair .
Oh no! I hate her! She's pretty, yes, but I hate her! I'm so f**** jelous! He was my pocket sized love, and now…he's got a gf!
haha i hate her too!! (just the fact that she is with messi) but he is so hot!!
Awhh their soo cuute
Hope he doesn't turn out a player…unlike someone we know *cough cough Ronaldo cough* If he's 5'6" how tall is she?
Woah, how short is she?! He is 5'6" so she has to be like 5'0". Not that I can say much seeing as I am only 5'2" but she looks so small next to him and that is saying a lot. Also, not that I have any urge or would ever want to date Messi, but I just feel I have hair that is just as good as hers, I don't get the big deal. oh well.
I'm mostly impressed by the fact he's found a girl who's that much shorter than him lol! Ah they look sweet together and she does look pretty with great shiny hair…I wish them well.
She's got hips and she's cute! Yay!
They look really cute together. I approve.
Personally, I love Messi. And it's good to see that his chick is getting some good reviews… BUT, for me, I just don't get it (the face and the fashion sense). Call it cultural or whatev, maybe her kind of "beauty" is not my thing, but the girl just does not hold ANY appeal for me. Infact, she reminds me a lot of a latina minnie mouse… oh well.
oooh me gusta! she’s so cute!
She’s got hips and she’s cute! Yay!
Aw, Lionel
I love her trainers, by the way.
It's girls like these that give us all hope that someday we may all land our very own ballers…sigh, sigh, sigh…
Absolutely gals, she’s adorable! Nice to see more Messi/Barca news on here! Way to go Kickette!
I notice Kickette doesn’t mention her name tho, it’s Antonella, and you can read more about her and Leo in the entry I made on it for my Barca blog >>

She’s awesome! they look perfect together… like made-for-each-other sweet. plus, she has got something so natural and un-WAG like about her, that you just instantly like her. the hair is obviously a winner, and she makes him seem cooler too! so well done Messi!
Wow this is the first time I have ever seen anything with Messi posted in this site… thanks I LOVE him.
She is really beautiful… seems really normal.
I’m extremely jealous but do think she seems like a good choice.
5’6 is the “soccer player height” we are given which translates to at the max. 5’4
She is very pretty! And has a cute, real figure. Go Messi!
what a lobely twosome. God bless him i mean she look so sweet and down to earth. you go messi.
HER NAME IS ANTONELLA
Wohoooo! Finally some Messi news on this site =). They are so adorable together. Shes very pretty!
They are sweet together.
She does have amazing hair. Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about them both wearing black jackets, similar shoes AND the same color jeans. But I think I'm alright with it.
Yeah. She has pretty hair. She's pretty too, I guess. :/ she issss, sorry.
wow nice hair !
Quality player. Lovely couple. I wish them well.Who are the little guys in the front of the pic?
Pretty girl! Hope her new relationship doesn't corrupt her into a Elen-esque nightmare.lose that girl blog
Awww, he found someone littler then him…She is adorible and the hair is fab. Well done, little fraggle well done
She's super cute and like pocket sized!
She looks lovely, I’m loving the hair and she has a great body in a normal non-plastic way. Big thumbs up, good taste Lionel. Although I do share Liz’s concerns over the matching outfits, lets hope it doesn’t become too regular an occurrence.
She looks cute and normal and curvy and pretty. Good choice!
Cute! but the most important thing is that she’s shorter:P
WOAH hottie. The hair is mega lush. They look good together. I like the matching outfits.
Now that’s what you call a real normal couple kudos to messi and his girl look sweet together and i love her hair….hope she doesnt morphe into a plastic wag cos she luks gud like how she is now
first, messi impresses me with his "midfield magic." next, his shorter new do; and now, his astounding taste in women. they’re SO cute together and love their body language. kimmila, the fact that they look that "real" makes me admire them even more.:)
A WAG in trainers?
I never thought i’d see the day!
Awww, he found someone littler then him…She is adorible and the hair is fab. Well done, little fraggle well done
Pretty girl! Hope her new relationship doesn’t corrupt her into a Elen-esque nightmare.
lose that girl blog
Very very cute girl. Though I really don’t like the new “retro” high-top sneaker trend. Partly because they’re ugly, and partly because I’ve not yet come to terms with “retro” describing items from my youth.
