Lionel Messi, after winning the Copa America with the Argentine national team and while he was defining his future at Barcelona, where we know he ended up leaving for PSG, enjoyed a well-deserved vacation in Miami with his family. There, he rented a house where he spent the afternoons with his children and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.

During that vacation, a group of paparazzi was able to capture images of the soccer player and his couple at the Walgreens chain where many people go daily to get vaccinated against Covid-19. 

According to the Grosby agency, in the photographs, the soccer player can be seen leaving a room where the shots are administered, but there are no details as to whether he was vaccinated. A similar situation occurred with Roccuzzo, who left the place with a red bandage on her left shoulder, which logically aroused speculation.

Also according to the newspaper Olé, the 'Rosarino' had already applied the three doses of the vaccine.

Ultimately it cannot be confirmed whether he has been vaccinated because the Argentine player has not made it public either, however, everything points to the fact that the PSG player has already been vaccinated.

Messi tested positive for Covid in early 2022

Earlier this year, the French side announced that Leo had Covid-19. In the PSG announcement, they mentioned the players who were isolated by the coronavirus. "The four Covid-19 positive players are Leo Messi, Juan Bernat, Sergio Rico, and Nathan Bitumazala". At the time they respected the isolation and were subject to the corresponding sanitary protocol, the Parisian team published in the medical report.

On December 31 there was the first sign of Messi's coronavirus, it was the message he uploaded to his Instagram account to say goodbye to the year. It was brief and mixed his balance of 2021 with the pandemic that continues to affect the world.

"I can only give thanks for all that I had to live in this 2021. Even more so when so many people had a really bad time because of this shitty virus that never ends," he wrote. 

According to Olé, at first, the virus hit him hard and knocked him over in the first few days. Afterward, he recovered, leaving him without ailments that were not serious.
