Lionel Messi’s Son Thiago Wins Maiden Silverware & Levels Up With Cristiano Ronaldo Jr

Well, from the looks of it, it seems like we are ready to step into a new era! Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have had decorated careers, with the two arguably the best players to ever grace the sport. However, with both icons in the final years of their careers, it seems like it’s time to pass on the mantle. While it would take long to find a successor, it seems like the two don’t have to look far away. Lionel Messi’s eldest son, Thiago Messi, took his biggest step in following his father’s footsteps, hoisting his very first piece of silverware with Inter Miami’s U12 side. Soccer runs deep in the Messi family!

Notably, Messi’s son was seen celebrating with his teammates as his side clinched the U12 league title. It is a significant milestone for young Thiago, who is likely elated after the achievement. Before his time with Inter Miami, Thiago was spotted training with PSG’s U12 squad before his father’s move to the United States.

The title triumph comes just weeks after Cristiano Jr.’s first title in Saudi Arabia alongside Al Nassr’s Jr. squad. While Thiago may be starting his journey, Cristiano Jr. has caught the attention of some of the top clubs in the world, playing for the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus’ junior squads.

While it may be too early to judge the duo, fans have huge expectations for the two, considering who their fathers are. However, their recent title triumphs are clearly a testament to their skills, and with two of the very best guiding them through every step in their careers, the sky’s the limit for Thiago and Cristiano Jr.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo show no signs of stopping!

Now, while their sons might have taken the first steps in their respective careers, it doesn’t mean either Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo plans to hang up their boots anytime soon. Both remain pivotal for their clubs and national teams, despite being in their late thirties. Cristiano took things to the next level last year, with the player emerging as the top scorer with the most goals across all competitions at age 39.
