Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo flashes her abs in black crop top as couple are mobbed by fans on dinner date in Miami

Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were mobbed by excited fans as they stepped out for dinner in Miami on Friday.

The Argentine professional footballer, 36, and his wife Antonela, 35, were pictured exiting Carbone Miami surrounded by fans eager for a glimpse of the couple.

Lionel dressed casually for his dinner date with his wife, wearing a brown sweater and a pair of blue jeans.

Antonela looked glamorous in a cropped one-sleeved black top that she wore with a pair of matching high-waisted trousers.

The social media personality wore her dark tresses loose and straight, finishing off the stunning ensemble with a pair of hoop earrings.

She carried a denim jacket and added some extra height to her look with a pair of pointed black heels.

Lionel has been enjoying some much-needed downtime after an almost relentless soccer calendar in the last year.

Lionel and Antonela were childhood friends and managed to keep their love story fairly private after they reconnected around 2005.

The lovebirds – who share sons Thiago, 11, Mateo, eight, and Ciro, five – didn’t tie the knot until 2017.

The football star previously spoke to FC Barcelona about what family meant to him.

He gushed: ‘You grow and you learn. You gather experience in all aspects of life, on and off the field.

‘But, as a human being, having three children changed my perspective on life, my way of thinking and it also helped me grow.’

Lionel praised Antonela for having ‘lots of great qualities’ and approaching ‘problems admirably.’

He added, ‘She is highly intelligent and well rounded in all aspects of life.’

Antonela – who trained to be a dentist at university – regularly takes to social media to share sweet family snaps with her 38.4 million followers.

She celebrated Lionel’s 36th birthday on June 24, posting a photo of the family posing in front of a gold 36 birthday balloon.

Lionel was all smiles as he sat with his kids and wife behind a delicious-looking birthday cake, that was covered in strawberries and had his age on top of it.
