Lionel Messi's son Thiago makes history for Inter Miami U-13 with 11 goals against Atlanta in the MLS tournament.

Lionel Messi's eldest son, Thiago Messi, made headlines when he scored an incredible 11 goals for Inter Miami's U13 club during a minor tournament.

On February 5, the 12-year-old guided his club to a 12-0 victory over Atlanta United in the U13 MLS tournament.

His teammate Diego Luna Jr. scored the game's lone other goal in what was a rout.

Thiago demonstrated his extraordinary skill by scoring five goals in the first half and six more in the second while playing as an attacking midfielder and sporting the recognizable No. 10 shirt.

Thiago has made an impression with his dribbling, vision, and goal-scoring skills since enrolling in Inter Miami's development academy in 2023.

Many people are therefore curious as to whether he will follow in his father's footsteps.

Lionel Messi, Thiago's father, has said in the past that he has never forced his son to play football and has let him follow his love organically.
