Thiago Messi, the eldest son of Lionel Messi, caught the attention in the United States of America, after participating in the International Easter Cup tournament with Inter Miami’s youth team.
Thiago wore his father’s historic number, 10, and scored a goal that led his team (under 12 years old) to achieve the title of the tournament in which 400 teams participated, including 30 international teams.
Inter Miami was playing the final match against Florida Craz, where Thiago succeeded in bypassing the defenders and shooting the ball with his right into the opponent’s net, helping his team win 4-0 and win the title.
Like his father! 😎

In general, the spotlight was not always and forever on Messi’s son to the same extent as Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, for example, who also just won a major title with Al-Nasr Junior League, which is the Saudi League.
But it seems that Thiago is starting to feel his career and hopes to follow in the footsteps of his father, who has been sidelined recently due to a muscle injury.
36-year-old Messi joined Inter Miami last summer, and led the American team to its first ever title by winning the League Cup last July.
