‘Soccer mom’ Kim Kardashian and her son Saint West are on cloud nine, courtesy of the Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi. Saint, an aspiring soccer player, has previously met with Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Bukayo Saka. But the young boy’s most iconic moment came in today’s Miami-LA Galaxy MLS tie. It was Saint West who walked Leo Messi out to the field, as the Herons laced up for the kickoff against LA. David Beckham’s daughter Harper was the other star child who got the chance to lead the 2022 World Cup winner to the field.

“Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the La Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!!! He is living the absolute dream!,” the famous socialite tweeted shortly after the Miami-LA game ended in a tie. Fueling Saint’s happiness, La Pulga scored in the 92nd minute to save the Herons from collapsing on the road. Besides Kardashian, numerous other A-listers including Novak Djokovic made it to Tinsel Town to watch Lionel Messi’s action.
