Football fans got a glimpse of Lionel Messi’s legacy in the making as his 12-year-old son, Thiago Messi, delivered a jaw-dropping performance in the U-13 MLS Cup. Representing Inter Miami’s youth team, Thiago stole the spotlight by scoring 11 goals in a dominant 12-0 victory over Atlanta United.

 

Wearing the No. 11 jersey, just like his legendary father, Thiago opened the scoring in the 12th minute and added four more before halftime. He continued his goal-scoring spree in the second half, finishing the match with an astonishing 11-goal tally.

 

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is expected to visit India later this year, with Kerala’s sports minister confirming a potential seven-day trip from October 25 to November 2. The football icon, who led Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022, is currently making waves in the MLS with Inter Miami, adding to his record-breaking career that includes 8 Ballon d’Ors and 45 trophies.
