Lionel Messi Watches Son Mateo Score for Inter Miami Youth Team

Lionel Messi was caught on camera with a calm reaction after his son Mateo scored for Inter Miami CF youth team. The 10 year old wore the famous No.10 shirt and finished with a low shot. Messi is recovering from injury after a historic 2025 season where he won MLS Cup, Golden Boot and MVP awards. This moment drew wide attention.

For the first time in a long while, Lionel Messi looked more like a shy parent than a football superstar when he watched his son Mateo score for the Inter Miami CF youth team. While other parents jumped in celebration, Messi stood quietly with his hands in his pockets and a small smile on his face as cameras captured the moment. Mateo, wearing the famous No.10 shirt, finished calmly with a low shot into the corner.

Messi continues to support his three sons Mateo, Thiago and Ciro, who are all part of the club’s academy system. He prefers to let them grow without pressure while offering guidance whenever needed. His wife Antonela Roccuzzo often watches their matches when Messi is away on team duties. The Argentine star is recovering from a recent injury but is preparing for the 2026 season.

In 2025, Messi enjoyed one of the best years of his career, leading Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup title and winning both the Golden Boot and MVP awards in Major League Soccer. At 38, he remains highly influential and is expected to play a key role for Argentina in their World Cup title defence.
