ROSARIO, ARGENTINA — What was meant to be a week of celebration for the Messi family has turned into a nightmare. Maria Sol Messi, the younger sister of football icon Lionel Messi, has been hospitalized following a serious road accident in their hometown of Rosario. The crash has forced the family to indefinitely postpone her upcoming wedding, which was scheduled for this weekend.
A Devastating Turn of Events
According to local reports, Maria Sol was traveling in the southern district of Rosario when her vehicle was involved in a major collision. Emergency services rushed to the scene, and she was transported to a specialist clinic. While specific details of her injuries remain private to respect the family’s wishes, sources close to the Messis describe the situation as “serious but stable,” with the Inter Miami star reportedly in constant contact with doctors from the United States.
The Family Rallies Together
The timing of the accident is particularly heartbreaking. Maria Sol was set to marry her long-term partner in a high-profile ceremony this Saturday—an event expected to be attended by several global football stars. All preparations have now been halted as the family, including Leo’s parents Jorge and Celia, have gathered at the hospital. Fans around the world have already begun flooding social media with messages of support under the hashtag #PrayForMariaSol.
