In addition to Lionel Messi’s great performances in the first period at Inter Miami, there is also the very close presence of his family in every home match. La Pulga is feeling comfortable in America and another sign of this is that eldest son Thiago will join the academy of the Florida State Club.

At this stage of his career, Messi prioritizes spending time with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, and children Thiago, Ciro and Mateo, who often sit in the VIP area at DRV PNK Stadium. The 36-year-old Argentine striker often celebrates goals with signature gestures of Marvel characters such as Thor, Spider-Man and Black Panther that his children are all fans of.

This panorama is complemented by the fact that after each match, the boys can go onto the field and play in the same place where their father and teammates just played. A few weeks ago, a clip of Thiago playing with other children went viral.

According to American media, Messi feels so comfortable that now Thiago is also preparing to wear pink when joining Inter Miami’s U12 MLS team. Thiago will be the first of Leo’s three children to join the club’s academy. The boy, who will turn 11 on November 2, moved with his family to Miami in July after two years in Paris and spent most of his life in Barcelona.

With Thiago joining Inter Miami’s youth football team, a lot of expectations are set to see the son of the best player on the planet play football. Leo always made it clear that he never pressured his children to play football and that he wanted them to be happy. But now he will have his eldest son join Inter Miami.
