A video of the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, hugging a woman heavily during the coronation of his country in the World Cup Qatar, spread like wildfire on social media and attached it to a comment and songs about the mother, and wrote on it Messi celebrating with his mother.

But the Argentine and Spanish press revealed this woman, and confirmed that she was not Celia Maria Coctini, Messi's mother, who was also present in the stands at the final match and went down to the stadium and celebrated with her son.

But the woman who appeared in the widespread video is an Argentine chef named Antonia Farias, who is from the Argentine national team's chefs, who appeared - during the video - wearing her country's national team shirt and approaching Messi, and when he saw her he hugged her tightly and everyone thought she was his mother because of the affection and love that appeared between Messi and the lady in the video rolling.

The love that the national team players have for Farias is clearly visible because of her friendly personality and cooking skills. In 2018, the Argentine national team's official account on Twitter published a picture of the team's players, led by Messi, as they celebrated her birthday in the World Cup in Russia.
