Lionel Messi is hilariously side-eyed by wife Antonela Roccuzzo

Lionel Messi was hilariously side-eyed by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo on Saturday night as he took in an Inter Miami match from the stands.

The Argentina star has been out injured since the Copa America final, in which he went off with an extremely swollen ankle before his team managed to win without him.

And he was back at the Herons' Chase Stadium on Saturday for his club's Leagues Cup fixture vs. Puebla - apparently irritating Antonela at one point.

Messi was seen using his phone as cameras panned to him inside the 34th minute, causing his wife to give him a stern side-eye.

The moment went somewhat viral afterwards, with a picture of Roccuzzo's glare receiving over 175,000 views (and counting) on X.

Otherwise, it was a smooth night for Inter Miami without their star man as they beat Puebla 2-0 in the Leagues Cup.

Matias Rojas opened the scoring for the Herons in the ninth minute before Luis Suarez added a second in the 72nd.

Miami are the reigning winners of the competition after Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba sensationally led the club to its first trophy last summer.

The Herons would ultimately beat Nashville SC in the final on penalties.

It's been exactly two weeks since Messi played, though Miami will hope to have him back on Saturday vs. Tigres.
