Many people might be wary of such a creature, but not Antonella. She comfortably let the lizard climb onto her hand and admired it. The images immediately attracted attention, garnering over 2.8 million likes on her personal page. “Who knows, this might become the Messi family’s new pet,” one fan shared.
The recent match was the first game of the season for U13 Inter Miami. The team dominated and secured a 10-1 victory over Orlando FC, with Thiago also scoring in this match.
Thiago is showing more and more skill in the U13 Inter Miami shirt. Back in May, Messi’s eldest son scored the winning goal that helped his team claim victory in a tournament held in Florida.
All three of Messi’s sons are now playing for Inter Miami’s youth teams. Thiago and Mateo joined last year, and most recently, youngest son Ciro made his debut for U7 Inter Miami not long ago.
Thiago is being recognized for his increasingly impressive performances with the Inter Miami youth team.
