Word is that Lionel Messi’s sister, Maria Sol, got hurt in a car wreck. The 32-year-old is supposedly out of the woods and starting to get better, but she did break some bones and get burns. Maria Sol was supposed to get married to someone on Inter Miami’s coaching staff in January, but the wedding is on hold now.

Messi's Sister in Car Crash

The Sun is reporting news from Messi's home country, Argentina. TV guy Angel de Brito says he talked to Messi's mom, who gave him an update on her daughter.

Apparently, Maria Sol was driving in Miami when she lost control and crashed into a wall. She ended up with spinal fractures and burns and needed a doctor right away.

Update on Injuries—Getting Better

De Brito said on an American TV show called LAM, while reading messages from his phone, "Messi's sister is doing country, okay; she's not in danger. I checked with the family because she was going to get married in Rosario, Argentina, on January 3, but now she has to postpone it.

She got burns, and burns are tough to treat, plus she has some messed-up vertebrae. She's already starting to get her strength back in Rosario.

I asked her mom, Celia Cuccittini, because I heard some stuff, and she said it's true, but Maria Sol is alright. She has two fractured vertebrae, a fractured heel, and a wrist. The wedding is going to have to wait. Celia told me she passed out and ran into a wall.

The stories about Maria Sol’s accident are a little different. At first, they said she ran off the road in a pickup truck.danger." But after talking to her family, people are saying she got burns from falling off a motorcycle. No one has confirmed or denied either story yet.

Wedding Postponed

Maria Sol is going to marry Julian “Tuli” Arellano, who works as part of the coaching staff at Inter Miami. He is with the Herons’ U19 team. They were supposed to get married in Rosario on January 3.

Messi married his childhood sweetheart, Antonela Roccuzzo, in their hometown on June 30, 2017. Messi, who has won the Ballon d’Or eight times, and his wife, along with their three kids, were planning to go to Maria Sol’s wedding.

She met Julian when they were young, just like Messi and Antonela, since they grew up in the same area. Maria Sol designs clothes and runs her own business, but has stayed out of the spotlight during her brother's amazing career. She used to live in Spain before going back to Argentina to work.

Messi in 2025: MLS Cup and MVP Wins

Messi can be there for her while she gets better since his season in the States is done. He helped Inter Miami win the MLS Cup in 2025.

The Argentine superstar also got a Golden Boot and was the first person to win back-to-back MVP awards in the MLS. He'll be back next season because he signed a new three-year deal through 2028.

DIEGO SIMEONE’S ATLéTICO FUTURE IN DOUBT AFTER TENSE MATEU ALEMANY FALLOUT

Diego Simeone’s future at Atlético Madrid is uncertain as tension grows with Mateu Alemany, and Inter Milan rumours gain momentum.

Simeone Linked To Inter Milan Amid Rumours Of Atlético Exit

Spanish media is swirling with talk that Diego Simeone might be on his way out at Atletico Madrid. Hard to believe, right? This guy took over back in December 2011, turned the club into a real force, and even managed to win La Liga twice—beating out giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But here we are. Apparently, Atletico are weighing up Simeone's future. Sport says things have gotten tense between him and Mateu Alemany, the club’s new Director of Football. Simeone’s contract runs until 2027, but that relationship seems rocky. Atletico sit third in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by ten points. They just lost to Bodo/Glimt in the last Champions League group match and now have to fight through a play-off to reach the knockouts. Recent results have been rough, and transfer disagreements are piling up. It’s starting to feel like Simeone’s once-untouchable job is suddenly at risk.

There’s also the money. Simeone is one of the highest-paid managers in the game—€13 million a year. Only a few names earn more: Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal, Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta, and, believe it or not, David Moyes at Everton. If Simeone walks away after this season, replacing someone with his status won't be easy.

Meanwhile, Alemany isn’t waiting around. He’s already looking at possible successors and has his eye on Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth. The catch? Iraola seems happy in the Premier League, but who knows—if Atletico come calling after all these years under Simeone, maybe he listens.

Looking back, you can’t overstate what Simeone’s done for Atletico. He’s delivered two La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de España. Add to that two UEFA Super Cups and two trips to the Champions League final. Four times, he’s been named La Liga Manager of the Year. That’s a legacy.

Still, Simeone’s never hidden his dream of coaching Inter. He played there from 1997 to 1999, and you can tell the place means something to him. “It doesn’t just depend on me, but I can see myself managing Inter one day. I think it’ll happen,” he said. He’s a huge admirer of their squad and their style, especially after recent games against Milan. “They play with personality and have a clear idea of how to attack. They deserved more. In the Champions League, the numbers speak for themselves. Two finals—they’re one of the favourites,” he added.

So, maybe we’re watching the end of an era at Atletico. Or maybe Simeone finds a way, like he always has. Either way, it’s hard to imagine the club without him.

MARC-ANDRé TER STEGEN TO UNDERGO SURGERY FOLLOWING SERIOUS GIRONA INJURY

Marc-André ter Stegen faces surgery and a long recovery after a serious injury at Girona, putting his 2026 World Cup spot in doubt.

Ter Stegen Speaks Out After Injury Nightmare Ruins 2026 World Cup Prep

FC Barcelona made headlines this winter when Marc-André ter Stegen, their German goalkeeper, left for Girona. He wanted more minutes on the pitch and had his sights set on making Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. That was the plan, anyway.

But things went sideways fast. In just his second game for Girona under Míchel, Ter Stegen picked up a serious injury. Now he needs surgery, and he’ll be out for months.

After the news broke, Ter Stegen didn’t keep quiet. He posted a raw, honest message online, letting fans in on what he’s going through.

Here’s what he wrote:

Most of you don’t know me personally, so I want to open up a bit. I’ve always tried to stay positive—no matter what life throws at me. But this injury? It’s a tough one.

Last weekend, my worst fear happened. I got hurt during the match. I’d just arrived in Girona, and from day one, everyone here made me feel welcome. I was excited to help the team chase our goals, but now everything’s changed for me.

I won’t be out there on the field, but I’m not going anywhere. This group isn’t just a team—it’s like a family, and I’ve felt their support from the start.

As athletes, there’s nothing better than playing and training. Now I have to put that on hold for a while. I’ve decided to have surgery.

I’ll be back.

You can feel how much this stings for him. He’d just landed at Montilivi, already made his mark with the squad and fans, and now he’s sidelined. The timing couldn’t be worse, either. With such a long road to recovery, his World Cup dream is hanging by a thread. Even so, Ter Stegen’s message makes one thing clear—he’s not giving up. He’s determined to come back stronger, ready for football whenever it calls him again.
