Lionel Messi's son Thiago delivers 11-goal masterclass

Thiago Messi, the 12-year-old son of football legend Lionel Messi, is already making his mark on the game with a jaw-dropping performance for Inter Miami’s U13 team.

In a dominant display during the U13 MLS Cup, Thiago scored an astonishing 11 goals, leading his team to a resounding 12-0 victory over Atlanta United.

The young forward, wearing the iconic No. 10 jersey like his father, scored five goals in the first half and followed it up with a second-half double hat-trick, leaving no doubt about his potential on the pitch. The team’s 12th goal came courtesy of Diego Luna Jr., the only other player to find the net in the match.

Since joining Inter Miami’s youth setup after Lionel’s move to the MLS club in 2023, Thiago has been turning heads with his impressive displays.

As Lionel Messi prepares for his own return to action later this month, all eyes are on Thiago, who appears to be charting a path to greatness under the shadow of one of football’s most iconic names.
