Lionel Messi recently shared fascinating insights about his son Thiago, who, at just 6 years old, has displayed an impressive level of understanding and interest in football.

“Accepting being beaten and accepting bad performances is always difficult. But now the boy Thiago even forces me to comment on what happened and explain why we didn’t win,” Messi has just had very interesting revelations about his son Thiago.
Although only 6 years old, Messi’s eldest brother proved to be extremely “experienced”. This makes his father Lionel Messi, despite being criticized, still feel extremely proud: “Thiago understands a lot about football because he is the oldest child and he can talk about all kinds of football. He’s always been very interested in football-related things.”
“It is true that I have received some criticism. Because he follows Barcelona in both La Liga and the Champions League. It keeps track of everything. He loves it, asks questions and gives me notes when things don’t go well,” Messi happily added.
Messi finds solace and happiness in his son’s unwavering support and interest in his career. Thiago’s presence provides Messi with a valuable perspective, reminding him of the importance of accepting defeat and poor performances while also fostering a deeper understanding of the game. Despite criticism, Messi cherishes the bond he shares with Thiago and appreciates his son’s involvement in his football journey.
The superstar player also said that now father and son talk a lot about football. And it seems that being questioned by his son after each match has helped Barca’s No. 10 play more determined.
Listening to Messi talk about his family, many Barcelona fans are feeling happy and hopeful about the quality of Messi’s son. There is a saying that “children of the same family, not like feathers are like wings”, if Thiago is really passionate about the ball, it is very likely that in the future, Messi’s eldest son will shine like his famous father.
