DINH DOONG

In a scene that has captured the attention of football fans and paparazzi alike, Lionel Messi, the Argentine star and current Inter Miami player, was seen attending the match of his youngest son, Ciro, who made his debut in the club’s youth team. What was most striking was the naturalness with which Messi, considered one of the best footballers of all time, supported his son, dressed in a simple t-shirt and shorts, blending in with the parents present as one more.

A Messi in “dad” mode

Away from the spotlight and pressure of the big stage, Messi has put aside his role as a world star to focus on what really matters: family. Last Sunday, he was photographed in the stands, with no bodyguards in sight, alongside his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, as they watched their little son take his first steps in the world of football. Dressed in casual clothes, the Inter Miami number 10 seemed to enjoy the moment like any excited father watching his son in action.

Ciro: the future heir?

Ciro, who is still very young, has shown enthusiasm on the pitch, although he is far from the shadow of his famous father. With his debut in the Inter Miami youth ranks, fans were quick to wonder if he is destined to follow in his father’s footsteps, or if he will take his own path in the world of sport. However, the Messi family has been clear in prioritizing the well-being of their children, ensuring that they enjoy the game without the pressure that comes with the surname they carry.

A picture is worth a thousand words

The image of Messi in the crowd, looking relaxed and proud of his son, has gone around the world. It is a reminder that, despite his success and fame, Lionel Messi remains a dedicated father, who finds true satisfaction in simple moments like this.

As Ciro continues to grow and discover his own path in football, one thing is certain: he has the unconditional support of the best in the world, both on and off the pitch.
