Lionel Messi couldn't finish the Copa América final against Colombia after a nasty ankle twist left him heartbroken on the bench.

From there, he watched as La Albiceleste touched glory once again thanks to Lautaro Martínez's goal in overtime.

Concern for the Argentine star spread worldwide after images showed his swollen ankle.

His wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, was also visibly worried about the state of his ankle, as captured by our colleague Darío Daicz on the grass of the Hard Rock Stadium.

In the footage, you can see Antonela take a look at the ankle before hugging her husband affectionately and then checking it again more carefully after the hug.

Next, she can be seen asking Messi something with a worried look on her face.

It remains to be seen how serious the injury to the Albiceleste captain is, but no matter how long the recovery takes, he will have the love of his family, and there's nothing more healing than that.
