Andrea Rincón Revives Claim of Past Encounter With Lionel Messi in Viral Stream

Her remarks on Martín Cirio’s show drew wide sharing despite no independent confirmation from Messi.

Overview

  • Clips of Rincón’s interview with streamer Martín Cirio spread Monday on X, TikTok, and Instagram, renewing attention to her account.
  • She said the brief encounter happened when she was 24, a timeline outlets place around 2008–2009 during Messi’s early Barcelona rise.
  • Rincón stressed that Messi was not with Antonela Roccuzzo at the time and said the episode did not involve cheating.
  • She recounted that Messi scored the next day and joked she had told him, “I bring luck,” presenting it as a light anecdote from years ago.
  • Messi and his representatives have not commented, and outlets note no independent corroboration; Rincón had previously said in March that he blocked her on Instagram, and she first alluded to the episode years earlier as the couple later went public in 2009.
