Lionel Messi is having the time of his life at Inter Miami. Over one year since his move, the Argentinian superstar has settled in seamlessly. He is not alone in adjusting to life in Magic City with his family also finding their way quite well. In fact, just like La Pulga, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo is showing commitment to the Herons, who feels ‘beautiful’ to be a proud ‘soccer mom.’

Often seen cheering for her husband, this time, the Argentinian influencer came to Fort Lauderdale’s academy ground to support her eldest son, Thiago Messi, who has been enrolled in Inter Miami’s youth setup since August 2023. Accompanying her was her good friend, Sofia Balbi, wife of Luis Suarez, who was there to watch her eldest son, Benjamin Suarez, play alongside Thiago. This moment was captured and shared by Roccuzzo on her Instagram account.

In the shared post, not only Thiago and Roccuzzo were featured, but also the younger ones, Mateo and Ciro, who must have come in support of their elder brother. Similarly, aside from Benjamin and Sofia, her youngest son, Lautaro, was also present. Below the post, she wrote a caption that translates to “Let’s go INTER! How beautiful it is to share it together friend! @sofibalbi, to many more!! Soccermoms⚽️⚽️CHAMPIONS 👏👏👏”


It seems that both Antonela and Sofia are fulfilling their roles as mothers by providing support for their respective sons, who may one day follow in the footsteps of their fathers. Interestingly, Messi once also took time to watch Thiago play, pictured sitting on the sidelines of the ground. The 36-year-old certainly would have been impressed, considering the talk there has been surrounding his 11-year-old son.

Thiago Messi is making a name just like his superstar father, Lionel Messi

Goals and galore run deep in the Messi bloodline. Months ago, Thiago Messi achieved a significant milestone by emulating his father’s footsteps, securing his first trophy with Inter Miami’s U12 team. The heroics from the young Messi don’t stop there; months ago, he made headlines for scoring a remarkable hat trick. Wearing No. 10 just like his father, Thiago has forged a strong connection with the Heron youth setup.

Earlier, a video surfaced where, in addition to setting up a brilliant goal for his teammates, the 11-year-old scored a jaw-dropping volley. Hearing such things makes it clear that Thiago is destined for greatness, just like his star dad. Certainly, if he continues on this path, there will be no stopping the young player from further establishing his name in the soccer world. Moreover, it’s quite reassuring that the future of the sport is in safe hands.
