Watch: Messi catches son's U12 Inter Miami football match, victory over rivals

Football legend Lionel Messi is currently living it up in the United States with Inter Miami. The 2022 World Cup winner moved to the US earlier this year, drawing curtains on his prolific 18-year-long career in European football, winning several titles.

His family has also moved to the US, and while the Argentina captain is said to be in the final stages of his career, his son, Thiago, is just starting out by joining Inter Miami's U12 team.

Roughly three weeks after he joined the Inter Miami academy, Thiago was seen in action on Sunday in a friendly against Weston FC.

Inter Miami CF Academy posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, showing Thiago helping his team register a 2-0 victory over their rivals.

Fans reacted to the clip, wishing Messi's son the best for his future.

"All the best for Thiago," read a comment.

In another video shared on X, Messi was seen relaxing with his two other sons — Mateo and Ciro — waiting for Thiago to take to the field.

This wasn't the first time Messi was seen spending quality time with his family near the field. Another short video showing Mateo and Ciro went viral a few days ago.

"Leo Messi with Mateo and future hurdles winner Ciro," read the post.
