Taking advantage of his free time, Messi went to the stadium to watch his son Thiago play football.
Due to physical problems, star Lionel Messi was ruled out of this weekend’s match by his club Inter Miami. Taking advantage of his free time, Messi went to Inter Miami’s Academy on the morning of September 17 to watch his eldest son Thiago play. It is known that Messi’s two other children, Mateo and Ciro, were also present in the audience area.
Messi’s presence made the Inter Miami U12 team’s practice match more noticeable. Messi also brought a special drink. It was Yerba Mate tea – a drink originating from South America that helps increase concentration and is an antioxidant. According to Ole , Messi also showed off his coaching skills, directly instructing his son Thiago to play football.

“In 2038, maybe Messi will become the head coach of the Argentina national team and let his youngest son Ciro play football,” Ole newspaper humorously suggested.
After Messi joined Inter Miami in July, his two sons Thiago (10 years old) and Mateo (8 years old) also enrolled in the club’s youth team.
The recent break was deemed necessary for Messi after the 2022 World Cup winner played 12 of the last 48 days. At 36, the Argentine star needs more recovery time to reach his best form.
Without Messi, Inter Miami lost 2-5 to Atlanta FC on the morning of September 17, ending their 12-match unbeaten streak. Argentine media reported that Messi will return to the field on September 21, when Inter Miami faces Toronto FC.
Messi has been a mainstay at Inter Miami since joining the club in mid-July.
