Real Madrid C. F., its president, and its Board of Directors are deeply saddened by the passing of Jorge Messi, the father of Argentine football legend Leo Messi.
Everyone at Real Madrid wishes to express their most sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to Leo Messi, his family, relatives, friends, and all those who were close to Jorge during this extremely difficult and painful time.
The loss of a parent is one of the most profound moments anyone can experience, and the entire Real Madrid family would like to stand alongside Leo Messi and his loved ones as they mourn this heartbreaking loss.
Jorge Messi played an important role throughout his son’s extraordinary life and football career. As a father, adviser, and one of the people closest to Leo throughout his journey, he accompanied him during many of the defining moments that helped shape one of the greatest careers in the history of football.
Behind Leo Messi’s remarkable achievements on the pitch was a family that supported him from his earliest years. Jorge was a constant presence throughout that journey, witnessing his son’s rise from a talented young footballer in Argentina to a global sporting icon.
Football rivalries and club colours become secondary at moments such as this. The football community is united by respect, solidarity, and compassion when one of its members experiences such a personal loss.
Real Madrid therefore wishes to send a message of support and affection to Leo Messi, his entire family, and everyone mourning Jorge Messi’s passing.
Over the years, Leo Messi and Real Madrid have shared countless unforgettable moments on opposite sides of some of football’s greatest matches. His rivalry with Real Madrid formed part of an extraordinary era in Spanish and European football. However, moments of grief go far beyond competition.
The club joins the wider football world in offering its condolences to the Messi family and hopes that the support and affection they receive from people around the world can provide some comfort during this difficult period.
Lionel Messi’s father Jorge has passed away at 68 years old.
