Fans show support for Messi's family during his father's farewell

The exterior of El Prado cemetery, where fans expressed their support for football star Lionel Messi and his family after his father, Jorge, passed away following a battle with cancer. A private ceremony attended by close family members and a few Argentina teammates took place at the cemetery in the town of Perez, adjacent to Rosario. The gates of El Prado cemetery displayed handwritten messages from fans — "Stay strong, Leo, we love you" and "Stay strong, Messi family" — alongside a large floral wreath.
