The Story in Brief
Lionel Messi arrived in Rosario on Saturday after his father Jorge Messi died at 68 following a prolonged illness. He will attend a private wake at his hometown. The Inter Miami star travelled from Miami to be with his family, as confirmed by freepressjournal.in.
Tributes have poured in from across the sporting world. Rafael Nadal posted an emotional message on X, calling the loss unimaginable.
