The 2022 World Cup has ended with a beautiful ending for Lionel Messi and the Argentina team. Along with the pictures of a happy soccer superstar holding a golden trophy, many people are also impressed with the series of cute Messi family moments.
If the second son Mateo Messi (7 years old) dominates the waves for his humorous expressions, clinging to his father and not leaving, the eldest son Thịago Messi (10 years old) is silent and worries about his father. Specifically, when Messi and his wife were sitting on the stage, Thịago stood behind, squeezing his father’s shoulder with his small hand.

The special way in which he encouraged Messi before the final
Before the World Cup final, Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife, also revealed how Thịago Messi supported his father and the Argentina team. The boy copied the lyrics of the song “Muchacho”, a popular song in Argentina during the World Cup. The message conveyed by the song is very significant:
“I was born in Argentina, the land of Diego, Lionel and the Malvinas boys, whom I will never forget. It is inexplicable, because you will not know, the final that we will have. I lost, I cried for years, but that’s over, because in the Maracana, in the final against the Brazilians, we won again.
Guys, now we have hope again, I want to win the championship for the third time. I want to be world champion, put Diego in heaven with Don Diego and La Tota (Diego Maradona’s parents) cheering on Lionel”.

I’m not interested in football, I don’t idolize dad.
Commenting on his children, Messi also said that Thịago and Mateo have completely opposite personalities: “Thịago and Mateo are opposites. Thịago has a special talent and is very obedient. The other is completely opposite. A real problem.”
Since he was born, Thịago Messi was expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, but Lionel Messi once said that his son did not have much interest in football. However, his parents still allow Thịago to go to the soccer field and cheer him on.
In addition, Messi also has to admit that his eldest son does not idolize him. Instead, the boy asked his father many questions about Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suárez, Antoine Griezmann, Arturo Vidal, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.
