Antonela Roccuzzo and Lionel Messi are celebrating their first anniversary in Miami. To commemorate the occasion, the couple participated in one of the most popular activities in Miami  — spending the day with their friends as they enjoyed the sun and the ocean aboard a yacht. 

The photos were shared on Roccuzzo's Instagram, showing herself and Messi looking fit and stunning under the sun. The two wear matching red bathing suits, with Roccuzzo opting for a bikini, and Messi wearing board shorts. More photos show Rocuzzo relaxing on the yacht, and lastly, a photo of Roccuzzo and Messi's friend group made up of Messi's teammate Luis Suarez, his wife, Sofia Balbi, and Mariana Balbi. 

Roccuzzo kept the caption simple, adding various emojis, including a wave, a sun, and a blue heart. 

In her stories, Roccuzzo continued sharing some images, showing a view of the water and the sunset from the yacht, and a clip of Messi relaxing and recuperating from his injury at home. The clip shows Messi preparing and enjoying some mate, as it rained in Miami, making for a relaxing moment. 

More details about Messi's injury

Over the past weekend, Messi made an appearance on an Inter Miami match. The team won 2 - 1 against Chicago Fire, with Mess showing up despite his injury to celebrate some of the highlights and the titles he's won over his career. 

"Tonight, we celebrate a great milestone of our captain Leo Messi in becoming the footballer who has lifted the most trophies in the history of this sport,” said Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas. “And I am sure he won't stop at 45. We hope he can lift many more in the future.”

Messi appeared on the field with a leg brace and walked slowly, suggesting that his recovery might take some time and that fans will likely have to wait a bit to see their favorite player back in action.
