Lionel Messi arrives in Rosario, Argentina, to mourn his late father, Jorge Messi, who dies during the early hours of Saturday in a clinic in the city of Santa Fe. Sources report that Messi travels with his family and is present in the city for the final arrangements.
Buenos Aires Times reports that Messi lands in Rosario late Saturday night and that the funeral is scheduled for Sunday at a cemetery in the nearby town of Pérez. StudioFútbol adds that Messi is accompanied by his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and his children, and describes the moment as part of the family’s ongoing mourning.
While both outlets agree on the death, the location (Rosario and Santa Fe province), and Messi’s presence for the services, they differ mainly on timing details (late night arrival versus arrival coverage) and on the specific funeral logistics emphasized (Sunday service at Pérez cemetery).
