Referring to Lionel Messi , people immediately remember the number one star of world football today, one of the best players of all time. Not only is he admired for his talent on the football field, but Messi is also greatly admired for being a man who is devoted to his family. Especially the son Messi has a very funny look.

On the pitch, no matter how much Messi is praised by the media and fans, when he returns to his family home, he is still a husband who loves his wife, a father who loves his children with all his heart. Men carry the burden of avoiding the breadwinner in the family.

Messi’s eldest son Thiago Messi – “hard fan” of Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi has 3 sons with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo – a childhood friend from Messi’s small plot, including Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. Strangely, all three sons of Messi’s family have extremely different and diverse personalities, and many times make their superstar father “bad tears, bad laughs”.

The eldest son Messi was born on November 2, 2012, which means he is almost 9 years old this year. 72 hours after giving birth, Thiago was immediately signed a professional contract with Newell’s Old Boys club – which supported him at the beginning of his playing career. Although this is just an act of gratitude from Messi to his old team, Thiago also hopes to be the successor to his father’s career in the future.

In mid-January 2020, Thiago caught the eye when he scored his first goal in the Barcelona youth team shirt, FCB Escola Sergio . This is an academy team of Barca, U8 for students from 3 to 7 years old. Thiago was in the starting line-up and then he scored the goal to make it 5 – 0 for his team. This was followed by a goal to raise the score to 9 – 2. Messi’s first goal was noticed by everyone. The boy has a pretty smart kick and moves quickly.

Thiago broke through the opponent’s defense and faced the defending goalkeeper in goal. After waiting for the goalkeeper to rise, Thiago trimmed a neat ball into the bottom corner of the goal. His delicate ball handling is exactly like Messi’s father. Thiago also wears the number 10 shirt like his superstar father Messi. When he scored goals, he used his right foot. However, it is currently unknown whether he is left-footed or right-footed.

On social networks, many times Thiago surprised fans with his football skills in the Barcelona youth team. But according to Messi’s revelation, his eldest son is not fond of football. “Thiago plays football because of Benjamin ( Luis Suarez’s son ) and his friendly classmates. But he doesn’t have a lot of passion for football,” El Pulga said.

Sharing with the press, Barca’s superstar Lionel Messi admitted that his eldest son Thiago did not idolize his father, but the truth surprised the press. The truth is that young Thiago loves his rival Cristiano Ronaldo and 5 other football stars.

Besides Ronaldo, there are other stars of Barca such as: Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann or Arturo Vidal are also famous players who have received the attention of Thiago. The boy has a close relationship with Suarez because he is also a close friend of Messi and often talks with this player. It is known that Suarez’s son is also currently training at Barca’s youth academy. And Vidal attracted Thiago thanks to his unique hairstyle.

In addition to the players of Barcelona, ​​Thiago Messi is also interested in Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr of the Paris Saint Germain club, who are also very famous in the world. Thiago knew them very well and questioned them a lot.

On the other hand, Ronaldo’s son also idolizes his father’s rival for many years, which is superstar Lionel Messi. The cross-idol story of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has received a lot of attention from fans. Accordingly, Ronaldo’s son – little Cristiano Jr. is a big fan of Messi, while the eldest son of the M10 family, baby Thiago, idolizes Ronaldo.

However, the fun does not stop there, recently, fans have found an extremely interesting information about the coincidence in the lives of the two top superstars in the world today, M10 and CR7.

The first coincidence is in the birth gap between Ronaldo and Messi and their first two sons.
Specifically, Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 and Messi was born on June 24, 1987, so CR7 was born 869 days before Messi.
How predestined, baby Cristiano Jr was born on June 17, 2010, and Thiago was born on November 2, 2012. That is, Cristiano Jr was also born exactly 869 days before Thiago.

Perhaps the Cules around the world should feel “thankful” because Thiago was one of the names that played the most important role in making Lionel Messi change his mind to continue to stick with the Barcelona club in the summer of this year. last. Messi revealed: “Thiago heard a few things on TV, understood a few things and asked questions. He didn’t want to leave Barcelona, ​​didn’t want to have to move schools and make new friends. He cried and begged me ‘We can’t go, Dad’. That partly influenced my decision to leave or stay.”

Mateo Messi – “Salt barn” loves his father Leo

Next, Messi’s second son was named Mateo by his father. And surprisingly, Ronaldo’s second son is also named Mateo.

Mateo was born on September 11, 2015 in Barcelona – the second largest city in Spain – where Lionel Messi’s father joined the Catalan team and is also Messi’s second hometown. The boy is Messi’s second son, with older brother Thiago Messi (8 years old) and younger brother Ciro Messi Roccuzzo (3 years old).

Among the three sons of the Messi family, perhaps the second brother – Mateo is the name that is most loved by the fans. If the eldest brother Thiago is especially docile, a little shy, quiet like his father Messi, Mateo is the complete opposite. According to Messi’s description, Mateo is a naughty, mischievous and equally funny boy.

Although he admits Mateo is very naughty and often causes headaches for his parents, Messi revealed that the boy has more football qualities like him than Thiago.

According to Messi, Mateo is a boy who is very passionate and interested in football. Ironically, this son is a “hard fan” of rival clubs of Barcelona. Meanwhile, the eldest brother Thiago often supports his father Lionel Messi and Blaugrana, so the two brothers are “unlikely” opponents when watching Barcelona play football.

“Mateo loves matches and is very eager to win, which is why he often supports my rival teams. The kid cheers for Real Madrid and celebrates when Barca lose the game. Thiago always felt annoyed, but the more he did, the more… the more he celebrated. It’s two boys with two opposite personalities.”

Messi said.

“One day while I was playing at home Mateo came over and told me ‘You’re from Liverpool… you beat me up’. Then Mateo repeated this but with the Valencia jersey ‘Valencia beat me, I’m from Valencia’.

Not stopping there, Mateo Messi also directly showed an attitude that made fans laugh in the stands. At the beginning of the season, when M10 was injured and could not play with the club, he accompanied Thiago and Mateo to watch Barca vs Betis in the stands with the Suarez father and son. The cameras captured the hilarious moment as Mateo happily celebrated as Real Betis scored against Barcelona. While both Messi’s father and uncle Suarez expressed their disappointment, Mateo raised his arms in front of him in celebration and excited as if he had just scored.

A small detail in life that shows Mateo’s cuteness and slyness is the story of every time Messi climbs the stairs. “Every time we climb the stairs together, he always tries to climb first, then turns to look at me with a triumphant face,” the Barca star shared.

Antonella once posted clips of Mateo showing off his talent with the ball. The second son of the Messi family is also considered to have playing skills, and is more likely to follow in his father’s footsteps than his brother Thiago. The Cules once witty comments that, if Mateo does not follow his career as a player, the boy will most likely become a … famous comedian.
He further revealed that Mateo is right-footed and has a good shot, but because he is too small. Mateo is more likely to follow in his father’s footsteps than his brother because Thiago doesn’t really like football.

Ciro Messi – the successor of Leo Messi?

Messi’s third son was born on March 10, 2018. The day his wife Antonella was “in labor”, Messi made the decision.. to stay at home instead of marching with Barcelona to be a guest at Malaga’s yard.

On that day, Leo could have played with his teammates, scored against Malaga, or scored a hat-trick (equal to the number of Leo’s sons) and conveyed his new family message. welcome new members with some kind of celebration. However, Messi chose to be with his beloved wife in this most sacred moment, just like before he anxiously waited for the birth of two children Thiago and Mateo.

Ciro has just turned 3 years old, the boy has a face like his father like two drops of water. Photos of the whole family of Messi taken with their sons always receive a lot of attention from fans. On his personal page on the evening of April 1, Messi posted a video taken by his wife Antonella of him and the youngest Ciro exercising in the family gym.

Barca superstar Lionel Messi and his youngest son Ciro take turns doing sit-ups while the family is quarantined in Barcelona, ​​Spain, amid the pandemic. The cute two-year-old with curly hair crunches his stomach 10 times when his father stands next to him counting. After the sit-ups finished, Ciro stood up and said, “Now it’s Dad’s turn.” The Barca superstar showed him how to practice properly, only to fold 4 times, then the boy ran to high five with his father. The video attracted 7.3 million “likes” in less than a day.

Like most of his colleagues around the world, Messi and his family are staying at home, practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. On his personal page last week, the 32-year-old striker posted a photo of his three sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro reading a book before bedtime with a message urging fans to stay at home and limit going out during the increasingly frightening epidemic situation. .

At Instagram with more than 97 million followers, Messi often shares happy moments with his small family. It seems that the home is an indispensable part for Messi, besides football.

Sharing with Marca, Messi said his daily life revolves around children. He would take Thiago to school in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon after school. The whole family gathers together in the evening until the children have to go to bed.

It’s rare for Thiago and Mateo to ask their superstar father to play soccer with them at home. Football is also not a topic that members often talk about together, unless there is a big event at the club or national team level.

“Mateo feels weird every time someone asks for an autograph and takes a picture with me. Thiago knows a little better. He loves going to the stadium to watch my games. Sometimes at home, they look at me and call me Messi like the way fans do, even though they don’t really understand,” the 31-year-old superstar confided.

Lionel revealed his desire to have another baby girl to make the family “full and boring”. However, that is the work of the future, now looking back at the lovely children, the audience cannot help but congratulate the happiness of Messi’s family.

Looking at Messi’s success in terms of both career and family makes many colleagues and fans around the world jealous. 6 golden balls with countless individual and collective titles with FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team proved his undisputed talent.

But to achieve that brilliant success would be difficult without the great spiritual encouragement from the solid rear named after the young wife, bamboo horse from a small plot and 3 lovely sons. , his lovely.
