After being honored on stage at the awards ceremony in France, Lionel Messi just “showed off” the 2023 Golden Ball to members of the Inter Miami youth team , including his son Thiago.

Accordingly, the Argentine superstar brought the “trophy” he just won to Inter Miami’s Academy. Netizens came across the club’s homepage and posted the moment Messi was hugging the giant box containing the Golden Ball amid the cheers of the young players.

As mentioned in the previous article, Lionel Messi is the first player in history to win this award while playing for a club in the US professional league. Therefore, being able to directly admire this special Golden Ball has brought an unprecedented experience to the child stars at Inter Miami.

After the exchange session ended, the 36-year-old player stayed at the training ground to take a few photos with the students as souvenirs. There was also the appearance of eldest son Thiago – who is playing for the U12 Inter Miami team. However, the Messi family ‘s somewhat unenthusiastic expression immediately attracted the attention of netizens.

Some fans humorously explained that the boy was so familiar with the Golden Ball titles won by Messi that he felt his father’s recent “flex” session was nothing special. Previously at the awards ceremony in France, the cameraman also encountered the genuine expressions of the three sons of the Argentinian superstar regarding their father’s victory.

Specifically, while everyone present at the theater listened to the speech and congratulated El Pulga on winning the title, the camera lens suddenly panned to Messi’s children sitting in the crowd. Accordingly, the oldest boy, Thiago, was resting his chin in thought while listening to his father’s speech.

The 2nd Mateo – who was nicknamed “President of the Messi anti-fan association” by fans – yawned and lay crookedly and tilted on the chair. As for the youngest son, Ciro, he sat on his mother’s lap and lay down on the chair. Witnessing this series of expressions from the 3 boys, people exclaimed: The real “Anti-fan” is here!

Many people expressed their opinion that it seems that the 36-year-old footballer’s children are used to their father receiving the Golden Ball, so this time they are not as excited as the first time.

However, there are also opinions that the children are still young, so it is understandable that sitting and waiting for an event to take place for a long time makes them tired and bored. Because even adults can’t stand talking about children.

With the newly received title, Lionel Messi officially became the first player in history to win 8 Golden Balls. The person behind him, Cristiano Ronaldo, has only been honored 5 times.

At this time, the 2023 season has ended for Inter Miami Club. Initially, the club planned to have a tour in China in early November, however, for a number of reasons, this plan was canceled.
