Lionel Messi Watches Son Mateo Score for Inter Miami Youth Team

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.
